Footprints in the Windsm # 1632–What kind of many lifetimes project?
Footprints in the Windsm # 1632
What kind of a project might we attempt which would take many lifetimes? In the middle ages, they constructed cathedrals. In every age, people plant trees. One is an easy one day task that nature takes over; the other requires concerted efforts by many people over generations. Both require vision, trust, generosity. Maybe not much else. But these in large measures. Trust in generations before and after our own: that they will see the vision, and carry it out. Generosity to create a vision that will be a gift to the later generations. A vision that will engage and be engaged by several generations. How big can we be?
