A father and son silhouetted against the Pacific Ocean. The father points at a bird to direct his son's attention to the animal. Look at the birdie. Birdie, the kid says to himself, birdie AND boats. The sheer variety of life forms on earth is unfathomable and wonderful. I can't imagine a world in which my kids or my kids' kids don't have that miracle. This is the future I dream to share with my children.
