Somehow, the thought of walking along the paths of our distant past… walking where Moses walked, or following the Nile along the journey where his basket was carried to the palace of the Pharaoh.

It brings me a great amount of comfort and peace when I remind myself that others came before, and walked the paths we walk, though in a much different time…

Yet, they rested under the same stars, awakened to the same morning sun, and existed in the same breathable air, though it was much purer than it might be today.

What about the hills and valleys that David wandered as a young boy, tending his fathers herd? He spent years with God as his closest companion, there in the middle of nowhere…

I cannot say that I wish to go to any one specific place, because history happened everywhere, and that is what draws me. I have an enormous desire for tracing steps of those in history, because it is not so much what they accomplished, but that they did it with so much less than us on the average day.

I am actually impressed with the VR advancements made, as it offers an immersive experience for so many who would not otherwise be able to experience some of the worlds most beautiful wonders.

I have done a decent amount of traveling, both within our great nation as well as internationally. At this point in my life, I am much more comfortable at home, though I still dream of far off distant lands, but maybe for reasons other than most… it simply brings a bit of joy to me when I think of walking where they walked…
