American poet Louise Gluck, poet in residence at Yale University dies at 80. She won the Nobel Prize for Literature for her poetry, and for her classic poem The Wild Iris. The poem looks at death in a different way. In today's world after the pandemic and conflicts it offers a new sense of hope-

The pine shifting then nothing- the weak sun flickering ending abruptly- the stiff earth bending a little

Then a voice - deep blue shadows on azure sea water

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
