“Go Find: My Journey to Find the Lost—and Myself”
Being lost Isn’t about a location. It’s a failure of the mind.
“Most people who are lost can’t let themselves see that they’re lost. Don’t want to hear about it, or feel it. And when they deny reality, they keep themselves from solving the problem that’s right in front of them. It can happen in the woods, or it can happen in life.
It took me years to learn that lostness doesn’t’ only apply to losing the trail and going off the map in the wilderness, I didn’t know then that people can get lost in emotion, in a relationship, in a marriage, in a business, or in a life. I was convinced that it just happens to other people. But I was about to learn just how lost one person could be.”

Susan Purvis, Author of the Essay:
“I Didn’t Run”
I met David on a blind date. The next day, I invited him over for tea. He appeared on my porch, peeking through the glass, offering me his cupped palms. “It’s all yours,” he said. “What? Sweaty hands?” “No.” He beamed. “My heart.” Typically, this would make me run, but I didn’t. He had picked me to hold his heart. His body was ravaged with cancer, but still, I accepted. We laughed. We cried. We married. Twenty-two months after our eyes met, I stood at the river, cupping my palms with ashes, and let go.
