Dear Tomorrow,

I want to let you know that you alone are doing your best but we all need to be better. You have started to cut down on resources, and reuse more and more. We have taken far more than we ever should have allowed from the earth and it is now time to help her recover from the stress and destruction we have bestowed on her. By now, hopefully, you can go outside and find many sources of renewable energy, breath in clean air and drink clean water. Much went into this but it started slowly and we took it one step at a time. For me this meant, cutting down on processed and packaged foods, and most things that were waste heavy. It meant, investing in businesses that wanted to help the cause, not hurt it. It was carpooling more, doing less loads of laundry a week, avoiding wasteful companies, growing my own vegetables and offering my voice to help the cause. One person can a difference and start a movement. Simple changes in life can make a huge difference in the long run.

To future Geof,

Cool, now that your jetpack is put away in your garage where you keep your flying car; how did the aliens save us from our own destruction? Did they have this hyper advance vacuum that just sucks all the greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere?

 

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.

 

My dear granddaughter Christy,

My own curiosity and knowing what a caring, aware young woman you are help me override despair.

 

Dear Children,

I wish I had a crystal ball and could peep into it to see you all happy and safe in a world that nourishes you and that is also nourished by you, a world where the resources it provides are as valued as the people in it and not frittered away by greed and power.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

It wasn’t about Him, it was about Us. And this isn’t about Me, it’s about You. And it won’t be about You, it will be about Them.

 

Dear Ya’Ash,

There are many paths to Truth, but regardless of your faith or ideology, one truth is above all else: Life must continue.
