Lost

"Lost" for me is when I separate myself from what I know

to be true about myself. I become blind to my shadows

and wall myself off from others.

I turned my face for a moment

And it became my life.

The story is told of a South American tribe that went on a long march, day after day, when all of a sudden they would stop walking, sit down to rest for a while, and then make camp for a couple of days before going any farther. They explained that they needed the time of rest so that their souls could catch up with them.
