Cathedrals

Posted by Frank on March 07 2008

Neat opinion piece in the Ottowa Citizen that makes use of a metaphor about building transit that I hadn't heard before:

The world's great cathedrals took generations to build. Although their original builders knew it was impossible to finish the work in their lifetimes, they drew up plans and started construction anyway. Why? Perhaps they had a better perspective of time, and a more clear understanding of the importance of handing down something wonderful to future generations.
