Dear Tomorrow,

2016…And I’m worried about our fate. Some of us realize that climate change IS happening, as we speak. Sadly, very few seem to want to do anything about it. There are even some fools who dismiss it all as a hoax. Chances are that by 2030 I’ll no longer be above the sod…So I hope that anyone reading this will be able to say “Rest easy, Dave. They finally acted, and we’re gonna be alright.”

To the reader I say “Good luck. God bless.”

Dear Tomorrow

I promise to encourage myself and others to recycle more.

 

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.

 

Dear Rosie,

But when you are reading this years from now, by the light of a solar powered lamp, know that your dad, mom and millions of others who burned brightly with love for our kids did what we could, when we knew the stakes.

 

I love you Earth.

 

Dear Tanuj,

The time has come to question ourselves as citizens about our own actions and the legacy we are leaving behind.

 

My darling Cassidy,

I know I need to write this to you, and I don’t want to because it makes me so sad. I have been desperately avoiding my feelings about climate change, for many years, but especially and with greater intensity every year since you were born.

 

Dear Tomorrow,

We only have 11 years left until the damage done by climate change is irreversible.

 

My darling girls,

I can be brave enough to wake up.

 

To My Fellow Two-Spirits,

Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.

 

Filhota,

Espero de verdade saber contribuir para legá-la inteira para você, e que todos saibamos fazer isso em conjunto também.

 

Dear Nephew,

I believe i have truly played my part in raising awareness and practical solutions to climate change.

 

Dear Donatella,

We ran through the woods laughing, crying, and living.
