Once, during a particularly dreadful and seemingly eternal period of lost-ness in my life, fully indulging in my panic of not knowing what to do or which direction to go, Rob gave me some world-class advice. He said, “When you are lost in the woods the best thing to do is stop and sit still.” In other words, the first thing to do is to stop doing anything at all. Just stop. The first step in finding where you are is simply to stop trying to be somewhere else. I laughed out loud.
Be here. Now, you know where you are! The problem of lost-ness is solved. Breathe a bit. Take in the unknown sights and listen. Direction and/or clarity are more likely to become available after a good still-sit.
