As I look out at the evening skies in July, I often think about our those who looked at these same skies and landscapes through this country’s history. 225 years ago, our ancestors fought and gave their lives to establish a different sort of country than had come before it. It turned out to be highly imperfect and there have been horrors that needed rectifying (and still need rectifying). But its problems don’t negate its greatness. This country still remains an anomaly in world history - it was built on a system of laws with checks and balances that would (the founders hoped) bring stability and protection for those in the minority from the tyranny of the majority. We have yet to see how it will all play out, but at Distant Moon, we feel blessed to be able to work and build and grow in this country. And we’re privileged to do those things alongside all of you. Something we often say at Distant Moon is #progressnotperfection. We’re working to try to help in whatever ways we can to make our country a little better each day. Thankful to be in that journey with you all. Happy Fourth of July. -Ian
