On the side, to the mother's proper left, is a wheat field scene, with a farmer and horse-drawn plough, and a small scale model of Richard Little's flour mill. A father and son stand behind the mother and daughter, looking outward in the opposite direction. The father, dressed in overalls, represents the 1950s. He stands, pointing outward with his proper left hand, with his proper right hand on his son's shoulder. The boy, standing to the father's proper right, is clad in 1990s clothes, including tennis shoes and headphones. The boy holds a model jet airplane in his hands. In front of them is a small building; and behind the father, on the proper left side, is a replica of the Gemini space vehicle, and spectators.

According to the artist, the title was taken from a popular 1970's song by Seals & Crofts. "It is a descriptive term inspired by the writings of Baha'u'llah and the Baha'i Faith. It tells of a time of wonder, a century in which each single year will be like 100 years of normal evolution." The sculpture represents Littleton's progression from an agricultural center to the space age.
