In Pursuit of...

I am currently reading a dissertation on the Burqu Basin in Jordan. I am beginning to wonder why this dissertation was written at all since all I keep reading is that the data record of the Burqu Basin is weak. It amazes me how much research is done in this world just to conclude, "I don't know." But, as Kathy's little pieces of paper that hung on our apartment wall always said,

"If you don't seek, then you won't find."

"He who wanders is not always lost."

I reflect on these phrases a lot as encouragement to keep wandering in the woods, the field, the river, the desert, the city, my brain, relationships, entertainment, jobs, and in the huge world. I never know what I might find.
