Hello spawn,

Little Jordans.. I do this for all of us. I write this in the hopes that we can change the world for you. So that we might leave the world a place where you still desire to be outside. I wish for you to step out into the chill of an autumn night and fear not for breathing deep the chill of the air. I wish for you to wonder at the beauty of the planet, but not lazily as I did, as a participant of your planet. I am small now littles and I may be small forever but in my small ways I will fight for you. You and all the good green and living things on this Earth. I promise you darlings it’s most of what matters in life. Your most certainly overbearing already adoring mother; your father too as he’s asleep on my shoulder.

More Messages to the Future

 

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.
 

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.
 

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to use a reusable water bottle.
 

Dear Future

My hope is for all who live in your time to still know the joy of swimming in the ocean, walking through the woods, and hiking in the mountains.
 

Dear Lalo,

I hope whatever happens, whatever I can’t imagine that you may face, that you will continue to seek light.
 

Tratar de assuntos climáticos com responsabilidade no Brasil

Que se multipliquem estes novos heróis da Terra!
 

Dear Sander,

I pray that you are having a happy life and that you have contributed each year of your life into helping to make our planet healthy, cleaner, thriving and greener- a better place for all people and animals to live.
 

The gift for next generation,

To save the big world, perhaps, we should change the mind from myself to my small family to my community.
 

Dear grandchild,

There is a place on this planet called the Amazon, and I don’t mean the online shopping site (is that still a thing in your time?).
 

Dear Lucie,

Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.
 

To my Dad,

I hope on this Father’s Day, my 24th birthday, and the rest of days, we remember that the most basic part of life is living happy with the ones we love. Acting every day against climate change will allow us to keep that simple piece of humanity.
 

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.
