When you're lost, where do you begin?

Question

oh my.. oh my

woman in the well: there you go.. someone who understands

Answer 1

I had a long dream last night about being lost. I began somewhere that seemed familiar, but with each step, with each turn I became more and more confounded. Along the way, I noticed that either people I passed were becoming less friendly, or I was becoming more cautious or perhaps even afraid -- so I was reluctant to seek their aid. The way became darker and the journey more perilous, until at last I reached a point where it was both impossible to go forward and risky to retrace my route. I was lost and despondent, berefit of hope. I sat on a rocky perch and I thought how did I come to this place, and why do I feel so utterly lost and abandoned? I knew somehow the answer resided in the place where I began this journey, but how was I ever to find my way back, let alone move forward?

I woke up then, and I reflected on my dream. I saw elements of my life in my dream, elements ranging from the sublime to the ludicrous; and I began to draw parallels with my dream to the path of my own life.

I sat up, clinging hard to my memory of this dream as my mind raced toward an explanation, about how this dream related to anything I have known or learned in my life.

It was not very long when I realized, I knew. More, I knew how I would answer this question, your question, my dearest Jessie.

In the times when the way is dark, when all about me there is confusion, when I am despondent, when friends are nowhere to be seen, in the midst of my enemies, my antagonists, when this madding crowd all around me is what I wish to run from, and certainly do not feel like seeking aid from... and much much more..

I find -- time and time again -- that the truths I knew as a young man, the good things, the right things, the noble things, the kind things, the benevolent things... all the goodness I knew as a young man to be what must be my guide in this world no matter how much I ever came to see the way of this world as in opposition or conflict with my ideals... time and time again I find
as I find again today ..

I've always known where to look.

In my heart.

This is the singlemost valuable lesson I have learned in this life.

The answer was always right here in my heart.

I recognized this truth early in my life, but still I got lost in my life.

It took me a long time to get from being lost in my life back to where I was in the beginning of my life.

Now I know that no matter what, I will always find my way back, so long as I follow my heart.

Answer 2

It makes a super sort of expertise. I tape the episodes, then i'm getting on Y/A and different sites to be sure what individuals observed that I ignored. Then i can pass returned and watch the episode returned to work out it for myself. (I additionally purchase the DVD's whilst they arrive out) you come across a super sort of clues that way.

(He replace into born and raised in London) Matthew Fox is unquestionably an extremely gifted Photographer too. On between the bonus discs, they characteristic a number of his pictures of the set, solid and group. and on Season Ones bonus disc they characteristic an interview of roughly 10 contributors of the solid and you'd be able to work out how lots all of them extremely like one yet another and characteristic a super time working mutually. They have been all giggling and joking contained in the direction of the completed interview. It replace into super.

Answer 3

Do you mean lost in a physical place, as being lost in a mall or in a forest?
1.The first thing you do in a case like that is to stop and stand still.

2.Breathe evenly and deeply. This is to keep you from panicking.

3.If you are in a mall, look around for security to help you find who you are looking for.

4.If you are in a forest, sit still and listen.
Do you hear sounds of human activity? If so, shout and listen for someone to respond.
Do you see any signs of a path? Take the path.
Do you hear sounds of running water? Go towards the sound--people tend to camp and hike and canoe along streams.

Do you mean lost as in you have no clue how to begin on a homework project?

1. Again, breathe deeply and evenly to get your brain off panic mode.

2.Then look at what the questions are you are being asked (or the mathematical problems you are being asked to solve).
Analyze them--do you understand the meaning of every word (or every mathematical function)?
If not, use the computer to find out the meanings of the words/functions.
Then restate the question or problem in your own terms.

The next bit is for questions--

1. Now that you understand the question, look for the key words. Key words are usually names, places, or events

2. Do a yahoo search to find these key words. Select the sites that look like they will help you most to find answers.

3. When all else fails, go to wikipedia. Do a search for all key words. The articles in wikipedia have links to related articles and can help you find all your information quickly.

Finally, organize your notes.

1. An outline form, with one or two sentences after a subtopic, makes notes easy to read. I've followed this form in giving you your answer.

Answer 4

Not an answer per se... but I offer this song for what comfort it may afford you Jessie, and as it speaks to the path we all must tread, I find it most meet.

"Calling All Angels"
Jane Siberry with K.D. Laing

Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
and high above you can hear
the church bells start to ring
and as the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in
somewhere you can hear a mother sing

then it's one foot then the other
as you step out onto the road of hope
step out on the road
how much weight? how much?
then it's how long? and how far?
and how many times oh, before it's too late?

calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels
calling all angels
we're tryin' and we're hopin'
but we're not sure how...

ah, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
with such love and intensity
why it's ah, it's almost as
if you could only crack the code
then you'd finally understand what this all means

ah, but if you could...do you think you would
trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
ah, but then you'd miss
the beauty of the light upon this earth
and the sweetness of the leaving

calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels
calling all angels
we're tryin' and we're hopin'
but we're not sure why....

calling all angels
calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels
calling all angels
we're tryin'
we're hopin'
we're hurtin'
we're lovin'
we're cryin'
we're callin'

'cause we're not sure how this goes...

~~~

~peace on you, peace on us all, my most precious one.. if i only could, i'd draw you close and spread my wings and fly us far away... but you know that, di ba? ~your angel po...
