As history goes, so goes the present. Diversity, the fabric of America, indeed Magna. History of Magna and it’s birth would reveal how men from afar came to explore, indeed settle this land into what it is today. Within these mountains that lay just to the west of here is a treasure, gold, silver, uranium? No, copper. Copper? Indeed, a semi-precious metal that is used in lives world-wide daily. The Bingham Canyon mine in the Oquirrh Mountains, once a mountain in it’s own right, now an inverted mountain as deep as it once was tall. The ore trucks that seem as buildings several stories tall look like matchbox toys from the open pit’s edge and men are invisible to the naked eye.
Just a gaze to the east wil reveal the Wasatch Front of the Rocky Mountains, cancealing precious metals of vast value. Gold and silver had lured men for years as the legend of these riches was heard by the would be explorers coming to the wild west. Stories dating back to Native Americans brought men from afar looking for their fortune here. Diverse nationalities would be a part of the building of this American West. A western way of life that lives on even today. The geography that escapes those less travelled, not of this section of America.
Now, we live an unknown future not unlike those of yesteryear, daily going about our lives making our own history. Building on our experiences, improving our way of life through diversity. This diversity comes about through the evolution our daily living, using technology to learn how to take care of our own ‘back yard’. The spirit that prevailed in those who came to settle this land lives on in mankind today. It may seem like it’s an easier road now, however I would suggest that ‘the more things change, the more things remain the same’. Our diverse lives only seem more similar than they are, the work-a-day world, commuting, schedules, making time for everything or trying seems to put all in the same category. However, it’s how one uses the experiences moving forward to evolve our lives into the goals we’ve set for ourselves and our families.
Oh yeah, it’s not too late to start! Start? It goes so fast, just how would you suggest I start?
