Cathedrals
I’ve been thinking about cathedrals lately. Not surprising, since Sagrada Familia got its building permit 137 years late and Notre Dame’s tragic fire raised €850 million for restoration. But I’m more curious about what enables cathedral thinking. How often do we still take actions that only our great grandchildren will benefit from? In medieval Europe, multi-generational planning was inspired by the glory of God and the ego of kings. What about today? Is belief in a flourishing Earth and thriving society enough? What is our modern-day equivalent of the Native American Iroquois sustainable development philosophy of thinking seven-generations ahead?
