I have often dreamt about travelling the world and leaving my footprints along the continents of the earth as I climb the mountains on the earth and sail on the seven seas.
In the Christian scriptures, under the Book of Genesis Chapter 11, verse 1-9, the story tells us that once the whole world had one language - one common speech for all people. The people of the earth became skilled in construction and decided to build a city with a tower that would reach to heaven. By building the tower they wanted to make a name for themselves and also prevent their city from being scattered.
God came to see their city and the tower they were building. He perceived their intentions, and in His infinite wisdom, He knew this "stairway to heaven" would only lead the people away from God. He noted the powerful force within their unity of purpose. As a result, God confused their language, causing them to speak different languages so they would not understand each other. By doing this, God thwarted their plans. He also scattered the people of the city all over the face of the earth.
I find it fascinating how the people of the earth once lived with only one language, and now, from what the story above has mentioned, we have a multitude of language and cultures on this earth, not to mention the different types of food and geographical beauty and the beauty of this earth is so infinite and vast that I have often dreamed of travelling around the earth to capture the essence of humanity in different languages, cultures and lifestyles.
This is my story on this page... In my foorprints...as a Traveller :) Come embrace the beauty of life with me xoxo
