dear tomorrow,

i am sorry. but i had dreams and goals that i was chasing, a selfish act, perhaps i single handedly couldve been the genius that changed the world, but i never took that path.

i instead wanted things that i have never seen, for the benefit of myself and my future. a truly selfish view in a selfish world. i am a product of the 21st century, a technological revolution of vanity and self interest.

so i am sorry in hindsight, but not sorry enough to have dedicated my life toward it. this cause is too big for one man, too powerful for a group of people. it seems unreachable to the masses and i feel now i am at the tipping point of accepting this fate. letting go of any potential world of irreversible effects.

i hope you are the generation to have figured it out, laughing at this message as if it were taken care of within a few years for you. i hope you have gov’s of sanity and humanitarian effort, a utopia of technology running the world, whilst also saving it.

my life enters its twilight, but as it does, i vow to dedicate my twilight to the cause, to further push the planet into a world of net zero emissions and eons of sustainability if that is even possible.

kind regards.

DTA

More Messages to the Future

 

Dear Alyssa,

I pray that more and more fathers will realize that to love their children well, they have to love and respect the ecological systems around them too.
 

Oh My Lovely Faizan,

I love you my son. You are waking up now. Hopefully tomorrow, more of us will, too.
 

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.
 

To my child,

For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
 

Dear Amara and Uma,

Maybe you heard about bats? Bats, the carriers of this disease that spread among us like wild fire. I love bats. When I was your age today, sitting in the evening on the back terrace of your grandparent’s home in Ibiza, hundreds of bats would play, dance and sing among the trees.
 

To the Three most Beautiful Souls I could ever Know,

I promise to keep your Love at the forefront of my every move. I will make personal changes and I will learn more, so that I can contribute to a healthier environment in a meaningful way.
 

Dear Future Self,

I am scared of the things happening right now with our planet.
 

Dear Maddie,

Please know that I have tried very hard to be one of those people, to even make the smallest of changes in order to improve the world for you and your future.
 

A love letter to my son

I hope this year is a real turning point and by the time you’re a teenager, your life is powered almost entirely by clean energy like solar and wind.
 

Dear Grandchildren,

So here we are. In 2022 millions of people are suffering from the climate catastrophes, killing pollution and pandemic, not mentioning about poverty, gender and social injustice, racism, wars and dictatorships that can go on as long as bad people in power are allowed to grab our natural resources.
 

Dear Chay and Kate,

Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.
 

My Mini & Lou,

Since I first sat down with these words, a pandemic has erupted. Racial violence is reaching a fever pitch and protests are raging across the nation. It feels like the planet is succumbing to entropy, slipping further into chaos. But I write to you from a time of shifting tides.
