The road ahead

“People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.” ~Ray Bradbury, Beyond 1984: The People Machines

As we age, we map out the course of our own future. We plan for retirement, organize our personal finances, reassess our healthcare plan, and envision how we want to spend the second half of life.

At the same time, we consider the bigger picture — the world we’re leaving for our children and grandchildren. What will be your legacy? What will you leave behind for your kids? What are you doing, now, to ensure that your beautiful place on Earth will be better than you found it after you’re gone? ~CL
