Dear Grandchildren,
More Messages to the Future
Dear Tomorrow,
This is just the beginning. It’s the accrual of little seeds of change that will lead to the tree of revolution.
Dear Kai and Leah,
I want you to feel awestruck like I do. It is important to feel small sometimes, to feel the weight of reality, to recognize the scale of a challenge, to see where you fit and what you are up against. This is the case with climate change.

Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,

Dear Kids of the Future,
My wish for all of you is that the people of the present wake up and are able to change their habits.

Dear Future Afnan,

A love letter to my son

I hope in a small way this helps your world.
