Lost ~ A Poem By David Wagoner

A poem by David Wagoner ~ Recitation by David Whyte <br> <br>Lost <br> <br>Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you <br>Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, <br>And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, <br>Must ask permission to know it and be known. <br>The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, <br>I have made this place around you. <br>If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here. <br>No two trees are the same to Raven. <br>No two branches are the same to Wren. <br>If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, <br>You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows <br>Where you are. You must let it find you. <br> <br>~ David Wagoner (1999) <br> <br>Music ~ Birdsong by Ludovico Einaudi <br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxSun1xYrvU <br> <br>New book for men: Triskelion - A Psychological Survival Guide for Men <br>Available in most territories - https://books2read.com/u/bzVvP2 <br> <br>Triskelion | Kindle ebook, Colour Paperback and Hardback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B356QQPV <br> <br>Triskelion | Black and White Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2TRD3YH <br> <br>I make these videos to pay back for the help and advice I've received from other like-minded men.
