dear children of the future,

I am sorry that this is what it has come to. It is not fair that you will be living through the pain, chaos, and destruction that human ignorance, greed, and desire for power have caused. Know that you are stronger than you think and that millions of people before you have stood to make a change so that you can continue the work. You are not alone.

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.

Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,

Dear Tara,

I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.

 

I want to tell you a story. Yes, another one.

Mankind has always been able to deal with the greatest challenges it’s faced and this will not be the exception. My message to you is: find that passion and give it your all. ‘Till your legs give out.
