The ground upon which we stand is indeed holy and sacred as we hear in the Old Testament. We have not always treated it with the reverence and respect, sometimes calling it dirt. This book will attempt to exalt the earth to a higher level. We will portray it a great determining factor as to the growth of civilizations and cultures.This is one person's reflections-a person having wandered, wondered, and pondered his place on this planet that was created to be inhabited with its abundant resources while exercising great discretion.As I wander, I tend to meander as well, so please bear with me as I try to leave some of my thoughts as a legacy.
