Your mistake was telling people about it! That moment when we realize we’re lost — it’s disorienting (literally), a bit terrifying, and maybe good for us. Keeps us more alert in the future…

I wandered intentionally into what is in summer a wetland, eager to photograph the red berries of Michigan holly. Got all turned around and could not follow my footprints back. Lost! Snow too deep to sit down and rest, no kleenex in my pocket for runny nose. My puppy wasn’t worried at all. Eventually we came out somewhere I recognized enough to find my way back to where I’d left the car. People in town could not believe I’d gotten lost — “In NORTHPORT?” Adventure can be very close to home.
