"A man with a clear head looks at life directly, realizes that everything is problematic, and feels himself lost. And this is the simple truth, that to be alive is to feel oneself lost. And he who accepts this has already begun to find himself, to be on solid ground."

you can't get lost in a car
My grandfather always used to say, "You can't get lost in a car." But where's the adventure in that? I once took a wrong turn looking for pizza. My wife and I were on vacation. We ended up at Papa's Johns. I felt terribly lost. When we got back on the road we had traveled 54 miles out of the way. That number sticks with me...54. So we traveled another 50 miles trying to find our way back. We got more lost. I panicked.
In hindsight, we made it. We had a great drive. I was never really lost in space.
Just in self.
I missed the scenery for the driving.
