Lost and Found

Multi Flash, a photo by bendependent on Flickr
"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."

-Ortega y Gassett, Spanish essayist and philosopher

ooh! this is interesting. how many of us fight acceptance? or how far in the "beginning" of finding solid ground are any of us? and how important is solid ground? maybe it's overrated.
