Dear Humans,

I went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science yesterday and they have an exhibit about mazes. Mazes and labyrinths show up on cave walls, the sides of vases, and old stories throughout human history. 

Because we humans like to create problems for ourselves to solve. You’d think we have enough problems in this complex world without creating our own, but we just can’t help ourselves.

And it’s a good thing, too. Because the natural world is unpredictable and doesn’t always offer up problems with clear lessons. So we make up our own, put ourselves in the middle of them, and try to get out.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
