Origins

The man who has no imagination has no wings.
— Muhammad Ali


Dear Kids,

This is a bit of a strange one, but I thought it should be written down so we don’t forget because it’s kind of cute.

For some reason long forgotten in the midst of time, SBK and SBE have been saying that they are actually from another planet. Well, SBK it turns out was born on a bunch of different planets actually (apparently, different parts of you were born on different planets). In the meantime, SBE was born on Tuza, but you still come from a bunch of different planets as well.

It seems that there is no limit to the planets from which you hail. And every planet has its own speciality for which it is known. There is a unicorn planet, an opposites planet, a this planet, and a that planet.

I can assure you (and I hope by the time you read this you will know) that you really come from this planet: Earth (but who knows, perhaps you will actually walk on another planet in your lifetime). I love your imagination and how detailed your explanations of your planet(s) can be. I truly hope that you never lose that creativity and your vivd imaginations. This, I think, is what separates artists from the rest of us. We all grow up and lose our imaginations…there’s just too much stuff in reality to focus on. Artists and those who know how to continue to channel their creativity keep their imaginations strong, which allows them to see the world differently….in an exciting way.

, I really hope that remember Tuza and all the other planets. I really hope that you don’t lose that spark of creativity and imagination as you get older. Don’t ever stop pretending, and don’t ever stop imagining…that’s how you are going to make your mark in this world (and maybe another one as well) and, perhaps, help to make it a better one than the one we’re in right now.

Perhaps there really is a Tuza out there. Maybe there’s a world where unicorns rule and have settled down to build a constructive society (but they’re very self-centered, so maybe not), and maybe one day you’ll discover it and write many stories about your adventures out there in the cosmos.

Love,

Aba
