More Messages to the Future
Dear Jack,
Right now you are only a little over 5 weeks old, but you have truly changed my whole world. Your Mom and I always say that we thought we loved before you were born, but now that you have come into the world and we met you, our ability to love just expanded exponentially.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to try to set up crowd funding for grants to people with realistic proposals to fight climate change.
Dear Abigail and Olivia,
What stories will you tell them about our generation? Will we be heroes or villains?
Dear Future Self,
It was 2020, the year I realized that life is fragile—not just mine, but the entire planet—through immense consumption, pollution, greediness, ignorance, false bliss. This wasn’t the way I wanted to live my life, so I promise to actively make the change.
Dear Future Grandchild,
We can learn a lot about how to treat others from stories that have been passed from generation to generation.
To my darling ones,
And it’s not that I don’t care. I care deeply. For you three, and the families I hope you will have one day; for the many beautiful places I have had the privilege to know, places which take my breath away, that fill my heart with a bursting joy and connectedness to something so much greater than I, places I know may be quite different when you are my age
Dear Chay and Kate,
Don’t ever let anyone tell you your actions don’t matter. Every single thing you do matters. You matter.
To the future generations,
I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.
Dear Tomorrow,
I have solar and will be getting an electric car next week
To my great-great grandchildren,
I don’t know your name
or even if you’re alive,
but I’m doing all I can
to make sure you survive.
I’m your great- great grandmother
who lived a century ago
in a world far different
from the one you must know.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise composting in my house and getting an EV for my first car.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise my next vehicle will be an EV.
