I hope the world isn’t too fucked up for you. My parents and their parents have been doing some bad stuff in the world but my generation is trying to make a change. Hopefully, we where able to make a difference and you are able to experience nature the same way I did.
To My Friends, Family and Future Grandchildren,
I realize my reflection of the past, current and future state of the environment paints a grim and pessimistic picture, but I feel optimistic in our ability to turn planet Earth’s fate around if we all work together and commit to making a change.
Dearest Gray,
When I asked you why the purple Violet called to you, you told me it was “magic”. I hope that you can still find the magic of life. I hope, despite everything, it is still in abundance.
My future husband,
I want us to read this in future time and remember all the senses and views we witnessed.
Dear Alex and Vivian,
This is my most important work.
Dear Soren,
In this world that is changing before our eyes, I believe that is our task: standing unflinchingly on the side of love, connecting with others, and forging ahead together.
To my daughter,
The climate is quite dynamic these days. Dhaka has dust and warm in this spring.
To my children,
I hope that the fervor that is building continues to build and spread and that the world has made progress to minimize the effects of our past actions.
Dear Future Earth,
I promise to promote the growth of clean energy, like solar… For the sake of my grandchildren.
Dear You Tomorrow,
What we failed to do, at least early on, was to see how important it was to put those solutions together. To combine into a way forward.
Dear Tomorrow,
I promise to ride more and drive less.
Dear Levon,
I hope, as your father, I’ve done enough to instill within you how science is a wonderful adventure.
Dear Future Today,
Here in California we’re starting to recognize our climate changing the natural world around us.
