dear my future self,

I think this is going to feel very weird when I get this letter and I think ill remember writing it when I get it. I hope the corona viruses is gone and there’s no wold war 3 going on. I hope that your smart enough to be saving money to go to a island were hardly anyone is and you live next to a little river in a wooden cottage with your husband children dog and a black and white shire horse. I hope you have your own library and tones if vintage crap that you don’t need. I also hope that you actually remember everyone’s birthdays even your own. if you don’t then remember the little trick that Linda taught you ‘ 3×2=6’. I also hope that climate change isn’t so bad or doesn’t exist any more. I hope Donald trump is dead as well hell be the cause of wold war three he will, or is depending on whether there is a world war 3 going on. I hope your happy and well. give my children lots of kisses and hugs and remember what you were like at there age. if I get this letter before I’m an adult then remember to be kind and try please not to argue with Chloe and Skye and if you do get them ice cream and make up.

Dear Eleanor,

It seems silly to saddle yourself with guilt for something that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t want to do that. As of today, I don’t really feel guilty. I guess I just want to make sure I keep doing more, so that when you read this, and ask what I’ve done since then, I can still feel good about my efforts.

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.

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 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.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to clean the earth.

Dear my future family,

I will promise to help climate change as much as I can.

Dear Tomorrow,

I promise to ditch all the natural gas and go all electric with my home!

Dear Tomorrow and Dearest Lex,

I do believe that the collective power of everyone’s best efforts can curb the worst effects of climate change, and provide you with a more stable and secure future.

I pledge to take the bus.

Dear Tomorrow,

My climate promise is to use a refillable bottle, bring my own resusable spoon/form wherever I go, use clean personal care products (without chemicals).

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