Being Lost

There are multiple “ways of being” when you are lost.

Two for us to compare:
(1) ‘Lost & disoriented’ Disappointed but relieved face
(2) ‘Lost in exploration’ Hushed face

Lost & disoriented is like being lost in the mall.
Looking for the way out, looking for a specific store, or looking for mom and not getting where you want to go.

Lost & disoriented is wanting something and not feeling able to get there.

Lost in exploration is like being lost in a good book.

We are attuned to the book, uncovering what is happening, merging with the story. There is no resistance, it is a state of complete surrendering.

Lost in exploration is falling into what is now & seeing where it leads.

Being lost is a part of life.
When we get lost, we have choice in how we respond.
We can be disoriented or we can decide to explore
