In a real way I have been having conversations with my eleventh generation grandchildren: through studying the possibilities of the future, of their lives, and what they might or might not value. These have changed how I think about my relationship with them, and how I might best contribute toward them. I have found I need to be more open to them, allowing them to develop as they see fit. I have found that things I value, like love, peace, and solitude, might not have value to them, and so I need to look to broader, more inclusive values. Ever larger.
