Doubly Lost

Life doesn’t come with a manual. Your map, the one which is meant for you, is fashioned over time, and its final destination brings everything and everyone you’ve ever loved together, to encircle you in Love and celebrate your journey.

Everyone takes a few wrong turns, goes down a dark and crooked alley. It’s how we learn. If you’re lost and can’t ask for help, you’re doubly lost. If you’re afraid and can’t admit it, if you’re worried and can’t own it, if you’re filled with despair but pretend to be happy you are doubly lost. You have lost the road, but you’ve also lost your self. Put away your map. It’s useless now.

Go to the woods, the water, even a city garden and touch the earth. Sit a bit. Open your heart to Love. You are here for a reason. Don’t get up ’til you remember.
