When I think about the future, I think of the world my grandchildren will inherit.

I’m reminded of Gibran’s words about children in The Prophet.
“ … their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.”
I pray it is a future of world peace, kindness, and abundance for all.
My future? There is only this moment as I complete this final Writing 101 assignment quickly before I continue the work outdoors that can’t wait. The killing frost predicted for the past three days hasn’t yet arrived, but it’s only a matter of time. I do have one more assignment to complete later, writing up the interviews I conducted with Trace Lara Hentz (Lara/Trace, THE MIX) and Skywalker Payne.
Long days working outside have left me little time or energy to do justice to the perspectives and insights shared by these inspirational friends. I do hope you will visit their blogs in the interim. I send my best wishes to all and hope you will forgive my delay answering comments or visiting your blogs for a few days.

I do pray that the future of your grandchildren will definitely be very prosperous and I am excited about their future!

That line from Gibran gives me shivers.
I don’t have kids, and don’t plan to have any. But I love children, and when I look at the faces of my nephews and niece, I see the future. And I also hope that their world, reflected in their eyes, is a peaceful and kind one as well.

Thanks, Diane. I’m still working on transcription for one of the interviews. (Maybe I really should have taken typing classes years ago …)
