Amazing Stone Structures

A Tribute to the Greatness of Human Creative Genius

"Those who look for the laws of Nature 

as a support for their new works 

collaborate with the creator."
Antonio Gaudi

This is the most amazing structure, in my opinion, that someone has been able to build. When I was visiting Barcelona last year, I had the opportunity to visit the Basilica of the Sacred Family. We are talking about an expiatory church. Even this church was builded from donations. 

This church is known because of his builder, Gaudí, who himself said: "The expiatory church of La Sagrada Família is made by the people and is mirrored in them. It is a work that is in the hands of God and the will of the people." 

Finally, we are waiting because this building could be finished in this century, after more than one century.

Life on a Space Station

Seeing the world in a new window

"Houston, Apollo 11 . . . I've got the world in my window."

Michael Collins

Curiously two weeks ago I was reading From the Earth to the Moon by Julius Verne, and I decided to ask me about the possibility to go and explore other planets. Actually, I would like to live this unrepeatable and surrealistic experience for three reasons.

Firstly, I enjoy traveling, and probably I would like to know different worlds because it is a new knowledge, which deserves to be sharing with people of our planet. Maybe, it would be extremely risk, but as President John F. Kennedy said, "Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, 'Because it is there.' Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked."

Secondly, I would have many aesthetic opportunities to discover other landscapes, places, and, why not, new types of life. Especially, because we need to compare our reality with different realities. This is the only way, in my opinion, to underline the importance of the perpetuation and preservation of life on earth.

Thirdly, the most important reason for me it is about the possibility to appreciate and value my own world and my own life as gifts of God. With this trip I could communicate it is necessary to rethink our way of living, because a unexamined life is not worth living.

In conclusion, I loves learning, knowing and discovering. If I can do that traveling to new worlds, probably I would enjoy my own space odyssey visiting the moon, other planets and, why not, at the same time feeling my life in the hands of God.
