"Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves."
--Henry David Thoreau
For the second time, I've changed this blog's title.
Yesterday, I had my first gig with a temp agency. I sat at a desk--literally just a desk, no computer or anything--from 8am until 5pm and did almost nothing. The amount of work I did in those eight hours could have been condensed into about 30 minutes. However, I am NOT complaining. I was getting paid a whopping $12/hour to do it!
Needless to say, I had a lot of time alone in my brain. I was reflecting on my recent feelings of being lost--in multiple capacities--and somehow the phrase "the art of being lost" came to mind when I was thinking about how, if I were actually a writer and had the discipline to do so, I would write a book with that title. Maybe I will...?
It's no secret that I am feeling lost. But, like Thoreau said, I have no doubts that this state will only lead me to further clarity...
