Monday Morning Inspiration

Wake up! It’s Monday and it’s back to school and work. ;) Grab your caffeine fix, and gear up to enjoy the day and the week!

Time for some Monday Morning Inspiration. I was thinking about how old and new do not always mix, but sometimes they do. We should not be afraid to let go of the past, and embrace the new life experiences waiting for us.

At the same time, sometime we can fuse both the old and new together and come up with something really neat for ourselves.

Does that make sense? :) I hope so.

This picture reminded me of fusing the old and the new together. This building is the Louvre in Paris, France. It used to be an old palace, but now it’s a museum and houses a wonderful collection of history.

At first, I didn’t really like the new pyramid thingy in the middle, but then it sort of grew on me and I’m starting to appreciate the fusion of a new concept amongst an old ideal.

Things can be mixed up and still turn out great. It’s just about how we perceive things and how we decide to react to it.

Have a wonderful week! ;)

Cheers!

    Yeah the pyramid looks kinda odd sitting there. Perhaps it’ll grow on me as well :-) It probably looks better in real life and I can definitely see the fusion of old and new going on here.

    Yup…it does take a while doesn’t it? I guess that is similar to getting used to new things in life.

    The ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) did something similar. The new Michael Lee Chin Crystal addition that juts out onto Bloor St. looks almost the same as this, with the old Victorian side staying there.

    They’re also doing something similar at AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario).

    Areeb: You’re right! Interesting observation. World wide trend, eh? :)
