Dear Tomorrow,

I believe an apology is in order. I am sorry for letting my own interests skew my actions, for knowing better and acting against that knowledge. I am sorry you do not get the same opportunities of preservation as we did. Most of all I am sorry for not having faith in us and you, even for a brief moment.

Though we in the present time are lost we are still learning. We are slowly realizing the destruction we left you, the depleted lands, the disrespect we ignorantly held towards you and our home we share. I hope you can not only forgive our distracted greedy qualities, but I hope you learn as well. We have already made these mistakes for you to rise from, so please rise.

Rise above the greed. Rise above consumerism. Rise above waste, ignorance and our excuses.

There is still time for hope and faith and that time is both now and then. I believe in our ingenuity, creativity and compassion. I believe that as you may rise we can too here and now.

We are on the brink of revelation. A revelation based on knowledge, compassion and regret. I promise to consistently help pursue this revelation in my journey through this life. I promise to no longer turn a blind eye or make excuses. I promise to not keep quiet in this fight for life. When I say life I mean all life for we are not the only beings who deserve to continue to be. Life on earth and its connectivity is a beautiful thing. I hope you continue to agree.

With great faith and love,
Your past
