More Messages to the Future
Dear Me of Tomorrow,
I plan to plant more things this spring, as we do every year in our garden.
To my Children,
As you look through your window, I hope you will see a bright future. I hope you dream big, and that you have the courage, drive, and fortitude to do everything you can to achieve those dreams.
To My Future Child(ren),
The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?
Dear Eleanor,
It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.
For my most dear and only daughter,
And I know life more fully because of you whom I live on through.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise I will eat vegan, organic, locally grown, and seasonal.
Dear Tripp,
I promise to do my part, supporting federal legislation to protect our earth while starting small with projects at home.
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
Para minha querida filha, Vitória,
Consegue compreender que estamos aqui de passagem e que temos por obrigação apenas tomar emprestado, evitado excessos e principalmente agradecer.
Dear me,
Remember how passionate you felt at 20, I hope you keep that passion in you and are still working on climate 30 years from now.
To the future,
Today, I will hope and envision the future I wish to achieve. Then tomorrow, I will have tough conversations, I will call my local representatives, I will continue to fight for this world.
Dear Future,
“I knew you would want to know how the future turned out. You got so anxious about climate change as we grew older. By coming back, I thought I could help you with that.”
