what if my spirit suffers from my inaction during my lifetime? do i fail to act, leaving it with an eternity of suffering?
since i have to look in the mirror when shaving, what looks back at me in these moments of inactivity? am i not allowing the loss of my soul?
i hope to be motivated by my sense of self as a member of the human race, without using my concerns for my children and their children!
Salutations to whoever may be reading this,
I promise to do my part. I promise to be the change I want to see in the world, and I hope that you, reader, will do the same.
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
Dear Tara,
I am sitting in a classroom thinking about you. Which is rare for me. I hope that our family has taken some initiative to do something about changing society instead of building robots and large houses.
To my child,
For the pale blue dot we live on, a precious beauty, I try to help.
Dear Future,
I hope that things have cooled down. I hope that people and governments have come together to save our earth. I hope that everyone is able to breath clean air, drink clean water and see the beauty in nature that I do. I promise to do my best to take part in repairing the damage we’ve done so that my hopes may come true.
To my future children,
I am doing everything I can because I want the footprint that I leave behind to be my feet in the sand on a beach and not a carbon one.
Dear tomorrow,
The blue sky will no longer be grey, and the bleak clouds will be vibrant.
Al mio piccolo, grandissimo bambino,
Hai compiuto da poco 1 anno e giusto ieri hanno annunciato la scoperta di 7 pianeti che potrebbero racchiudere in essi la possibilità di sviluppare, o aver già sviluppato, vita a livello organico.
Dear future me,
I’m doing this work because I see it as the best way to save and improve as many lives as possible. I’m doing it so you, 2050 Ryan, can look at yourself in the mirror. And so you can tell your kids and grandkids someday that you did everything you could.
Dear future generations,
Past generations took all the trees, polluted all the water, fished all the fish, and hunted all the animals so that there’s almost nothing nice left.
Dear Future Explorers,
I am often faced with the question: why do I care so much about this pale blue dot that we inhabit?
Dear Evie of 2050,
I can feel the change happening — many people are working to transform the world.
