RECOMMENDATIONS
A few words in favor of getting lost...
Sometimes when you're not sure where to go, when no path looks familiar, when you're not really sure which path is the road worth taking or the road less taken, it's not a bad idea to get lost.
Take a breath, get your bearings, see adventure rather than mishap. Meet your day with The Fool as your guide.
Lost and very lost are not such bad things.
Who knows who you'll meet there and what you'll find.
In solidarity,
(Currently getting lost in Austin, TX, but thinking about you)
