Dear Progeny

I thought we would
leave a better garden,
but greed bottled water
until the dust bowl
wouldn’t bear fruit.

Susie, I'm thinking that there could not be a better garden. Nor did 'greed' bottle any water.
This reminds me a bit of a Bob Dylan song.
Fun to read, a lot of fun.

What a powerful message! I lately watched the movie, Interstellar, and your description of the dust bowl rings alarmingly possible.

Extremely powerful and very easy to read in so many ways. Such sorrow! I feel I just want to hug you after reading this (but that's probably more my take on the words than you needing a hug). Brilliant!

"Greed bottled water" made me immediately think of the Nestle CEO. Very timely!
