"Lost" [by David Wagoner] Lost Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you. If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here. No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren. If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows Where you are. You must let it find you. -- David Wagoner (1999)
Thank you for posting this poem/ it’s beautiful and a good little poem to contemplate upon while doing something instead of having some thing external to keep us company

Simply because there is no description or a better title written. What word would you enter in youtube search bar to find this video without being familiar with the Lost or David Whyte?
There's some real wisdom here. Maybe you leave the forest and the trees. I think we all do many times in life. The point is that no matter how many times we get lost the forest, the "here" is always ready to receive us again.
The world is you pushed out. You see what you want to see and apparently what the media is telling you to see. This world is fine with plenty of sustainable systems. It was here before us and will be here long after us.
Our ancestors were hijacked and were well versed in the cycles of earth, we are the children of earth, not an entity of EMPIRE.. Lost and divided.. How it was planned 🙏
I saw a short version, then found this video to watch the whole conversation, and want to share something here. I have come across Human Design system few years ago, and in my Human Design chart, my Incarnation Crosses is the Right Angle Cross of Sphinx 2, and let me quote what's being said about this profile : "Being a Sphinx is somebody that comes into this life and basically they are a light pole at the street crossing. And not only do they go green and yellow and red, they have pointing arrows. And this is what they are all about. Some of the most interesting Sphinxes that i have met are ones that have undefined G centers. They give everybody else direction and they're lost. And they can't understand why they're lost and yet everybody comes to them and finds direction." My whole life is about being lost and not knowing where i am and where to go, and yet i could do this for others. I think it's safe to say that I know sth about being lost. I feel it in my bones. Its written in my DNA. This video has touched my soul. "The path has disappeared, that's how you know you are on the right path." I can't agree more. "Let it find you". Nothing is ever lost.

Glad you found this. I edited it from a much longer interview (more about other things) from the Thinking Allowed series. It is indeed a powerful poen, powerfully recited.

"Lost" [by David Wagoner]
Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

Thanks for this.
The irony of a dominoes advert blasting me at 200% volume in the middle of this is not lost on me
Pay for premium and forget about this nonsense
@@mikehev222 imagine paying free stuff
Domino’s knows where it is
Haha I love you
Switching off your phone and enjoying the silence is free.
Oh my, David - so young then, and yet already so wise and so deep. You started early, didn't you.
LOVE him. ❤
the black contemplative splendors of self doubt
Right??????? I had to press pause for a minute and let that marinate.
He made it sound romantically extravagant haha

we can't stop here, this is bat country
did you see what the forest just did to us man
Why has this video not got thousands of views!! Hugely enlightening!
Maybe the way it was captioned
Yes!!! I agree...
@@shadrachamoahboadi i think It's because most people now, just want entertainment....
Simply because there is no description or a better title written.
What word would you enter in youtube search bar to find this video without being familiar with the Lost or David Whyte?
@@severineroque918 I am interested in the topics but I haven't heard of David Whyte. He's still quite unknown.

Grateful for sharing and posting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🖐🏻🇵🇹
Thank you very much for posting 🤲🙏🌷
Wonder how he feels about everything getting so much worse than we envisioned back then. So many unsustainable systems....
Be here, now.
@@bigpictureguys8415 I am, that's the problem. He isn't by the way if you missed that and that's who we're talking about.

Timeless video 🤍
the ultimate solution for conquering anxiety!
How did I pick a Mediterranean recipe video to watch and end up with this video? Any feedback?
Lol
Yeah, Lucky you!
Because you needed to hear it…
Quite literally everything happens for a reason, no matter how minute of a reason.
Because you dont find the video, the video finds you😁
Nothing has changed
Brilliant!!

Help!
Dante, hmm, by the way, this dude's Italian isn't that bad. Oh
ok, so that was a different story, the main one is American Indian
Watch on 11/11
He actually makes no sense.
What year was this?
I was wondering the same. I would say by his age, it looks like 25years-30 years ago.
