And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.

I hope in a small way this helps your world.

I promise to wholeheartedly live my life with an awareness of my personal impact on our communities and our planet.

We ran through the woods laughing, crying, and living.

I will promise to help climate change as much as I can.

I also hope that your previous prayers have been answered. The way you wanted to create green jobs for your fellow city dwellers have been fulfilled already.

Siamo nel 2017 e vi assicuro che sto facendo tutto il possibile per rendere questo pianeta un posto migliore.

I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.

I am very proud to know that You will treat Our Earth, Our Natural Gift, Our Playful Backyard with the same Awesome Respect that We give to each other, as a Family – Knowing that Our Earth, is Your Child Now.

As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.
