More Messages to the Future
Dear Daughter,
Tonight at bedtime, you asked, seemingly out of nowhere, “why are the glaciers disappearing?”
Dear Tomorrow,
My climate promise is to use a refillable bottle, bring my own resusable spoon/form wherever I go, use clean personal care products (without chemicals).
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to pick up trash at every beach I visit 🙂 and to bike for local errands.
Dear Tomorrow,
Be the person who shows up. Be the person who continues to advocate for change because change is possible – it is possible in the most partisan of politics.
Dear Future Explorers,
I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
To My Future Nephews,
I want you to see those corn fields in the north, the beautiful beaches down in Florida, and the stars in the woods at night.
Dear Gabriel,
One day ten or twenty years from now, when you look back from the future, you will be able to clearly see the entire path.
Dear Victoria, sugar pie honey bunch, chiquita loquita,
How can I look at your bright eyes and light dance and tell you we are facing a war?
Dear Madeleine,
First of all I hope we succeeded in our dream that yours is a better world than the world of 2021. Today, the forests are burning, the sea levels are rising and wild weather is everywhere. But we are working hard and I’m confident we will succeed.
Hello spawn,
I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you.
Dear Samuel, Willa, and Ben,
To the core of my being, and only through the power of community, I will honor the voices of the youth who are pleading, “Don’t burn my future.” Samuel, Willa, and Ben, your little voices I know, will join that chorus soon enough.
Dear Ezmae,
As I write this, I consider giving up as it sometimes seems that all is lost. But then I think of you.
