Afoot and Afield
Throughout the years of the journey on, both afoot and afield, I have thought about the designation of geographic regions on this continent. Thus, later when trying to better organize my Mountain-Earth gallery, I came across the study of the North American geographic regions, which inspired in me an entirely new way in which to organize my Information-Photo Gallery.
Even though I was elated to find this new information, however, I find it like most all of the studies that are being done by the wise men of this world. Yes, I find that in my personal exploration afield, some of what I have learned conflicts to the current world′s learning. So therefore, I have been in the process of drawing my own map.
Upon creating this Gallery, The Incredible Earth and the Quest for Solitude, I will be transferring the information and photos from the previous page, The Earth′s Mountains into the appropriate locations within this newly created gallery.
Examples of My Changes
Much of the maps contained within are very close to those found in my internet search, still, as I continue with my Journey On, the changes that I personally find become the reason for my personal changes.
For instance, instead of including the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges of the western cordillera with the Basin and Range Region, I have include them with other coastal ranges and now call this area the Pacific Coast Region.
Another area that I have made changes is to add Wichita Mountains to the Interior Lowlands Region. More of my field research will continue in this region and I may even make other changes to the Interior Highlands region as I continue to explore this area.
Furthermore, some time past, I had made the discovery of the
Climate Divide has been added to my North American Desert page dealing with the increasing dry zone in North America.
Psalms 115:16
"The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD′s:
but the earth hath he given to the children of men."
Quest for Solitude
In my journeys, I have found that there are some people who do not have to search, they find their niche early in life and rest there, seemingly contented and exercising forbearance. Most of those ones never travel much more than a hundred miles from the place of their birth.
1 Others may spend a few weeks during their annual vacations exploring the Earth to some extent, but even these ones, more often than not, do not possess any form of the heart which motivates a
wayƒarer.
However, there remains those, however infrequent they might appear, who are collectively known as wayƒarers, which begin early in life traveling across this land and who continue upon this life journey in search for its meaning and for the purpose for our being here.
Where can we find answers to all of out questions about Life? Where can we find the Wisdom we need to Understand? Early in my life journey, I came to appreciate that the Creator of all things will provide us all of the answers as well as with the wisdom needed.
Wisdom from God
We, the Wayƒarers, have come to appreciate the grand wisdom that is found in the Word of God also known by us as the Bible. In it, we would read as often as we might, even daily so as to keep true to all of which God commands men to do. We acknowledge that through His Word, God provides wise guidance and much insight, though which a person must come to appreciate so much so as to be motivated to do all that God directs, even to walk upon His
Way of Holiness.
Furthermore, once acquired, all of the God provided wisdom and insight must be carefully safeguarded, because, if ever that one would turn from the
Way, one can lose it by turning from God′s ways.
Also, it is most crucial that we safeguard all of the instruction which comes from God provided to us through His Good Spirit.
(Nehemiah 9:20; also compare:
1 Chronicles 28:12
, 19)
Once again, that Insight and Wisdom from God, must be safeguarded because once attained, it can thereafter be quickly lost by turning from God′s ways.
