Why do we have such a desire to explore? What can we do to fully experience life and how can we use those experiences to better understand the world, spirituality and ourselves?The world has an unimaginable number of lessons to teach us. These lessons hide on every inch of the earth, but we aren\'t always open to hearing what the world has to tell us.Thoughts Across the Map is a compilation of life lessons learned while traveling across the world. Each of the stories within seeks to consider how much the world has to teach us. These thoughts are not part of a How To book, but rather the opening to a conversation about how we can better understand ourselves, the world and God. Wherever we have been, whatever we have done, life has a way of teaching us lessons. Experience is the greatest of all teachers and the more we wander, the more we master.
