Dear Amelia,

My heart is breaking with worry about the world you will live in when you are grown. It seems like we are tipping (have tipped) into such dangerous and challenging times, and so little separates us from big pain and fear. I am doing my best to work with farms so that, in our region, producers can continue to grow food and heat, and that we have clean water. I hope it comes to something. I am sorry if it does not.

My commitment to you is that I will teach you how to grow your own food, so you will not be hungry. I will help you learn how to make things with your hands. I will show you how to invest in your community, so that when things are hard the community will catch you.

I love you always.

My dearest children Ameilia and Alivia, 

I want you to hear the whispers of the seasons changing. The rustling of leaves as they gracefully cascade down from their limbs in the fall, birds singing in spring, and frogs that serenade the summer night.

 

Dear Amara and Uma,

Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.

 

Dear Corey,

I promise to do all within my power to create a world that’s safe for you and your generation.

To my great-great grandchildren,

I don’t know your name

Dear Sadie,

You are young and have a rich future ahead of you. I am retired and aiming for a high quality of cultural life and comfort with whatever time remains to me. I do not want to see a world whose elders sacrifice your future for their short-term needs and personal gain. So it’s up to you and me to speak out.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to turn old shirts into produce bags.

 

To my Beloved Future Children,

Be fearless – do not be afraid to talk to each other and do not be afraid to fail.
