Recent but magnificent


I am watching the most magnificent building being built on the Science channel. It's in Singapore and has just recently been built (mainly because the technology hasn't been available until the last few years). It is a skypark built across the top of 3 towering apartment and business buildings standing about 100 yards apart and is complete with hotel and casino. Part of the skypark is a cantilever, a 218 feet portion that sticks out away from the last tower like a diving board. The park rests 600 feet above ground connecting the three buildings with a couple of bridges so that it continuously runs across the buildings. After the walkways, swimming pool, trees, and nightclub have been added, it will be a beautiful place to exercise, relax, or entertain for all the residents in the hotel and apartments. Truly magnificent in both looks and planning, inside and out.

Some of the beautiful things I have learned or beautiful people I have met have come in the most recent part of my life. The things and people from the past are still important and significant. But, it makes me a more robust person to add meaningful events and people from the past to the ones that are recent. And, even though I didn't encounter them until recently, they are beautiful and magnificent, inside and out.
