Dear to bro,
Do your best to change the world, because it won’t change for you. The world is a dangerous place and it’s your job to make that a good thing.
More Messages to the Future
To my beloved granddaughters, Margaret and Caroline,
Growing up in Germany, I often wondered what my parents had done to oppose the Nazi regime in the 1930’s that led to WWII. I was so disappointed when I found out how passive they had been. For me, this was formative.
Dear Madeline, Ava, and Harper,
What I wish most for you girls is that the care you have shown each other would extend to the big wide world around you.
To the generation after mine,
But when you encounter that resistance–and you will, regularly–know that you must respond just how we have had to these past 50 years. With love, and sternness, and most of all, courage. Because that is what the resistance fears the most. We who came before you promise that we will do the same while we wait for you. Know that you will never be alone.
Dear Finn and Cy,
I think a lot about what you might be like when you grow up and about what kind of world you will live in.
Dear Tomorrow,
I will aim to lower my carbon footprint!
Dear Ryan,
I hope that you start doing things that will help the world.
I love you Earth.
Annalu minha filha amada,
Espero de coração que, no futuro, você possa olhar para trás e se orgulhar muito dos pais que teve.
Dear grand nieces and nephews,
I wish you this security knowing we changed because we love you.
To my darling ones,
And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age
Querida Tainah,
Quero que você beba água pura, coma alimentos sem agrotóxicos e que sua casinha branca com varanda, seja voltada para o leste, onde o sol vai nascer.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to ride more and drive less.
