Lost and found

Micro-macro. Just like when we lose something or leave something behind, it doesn't just disappear. It goes into the lost and found, or it gets repurposed by someone or something else. Thats one reason why it's pointless to try to run from ourselves. Even the stuff we "get rid of" or "lose" is always out there. The upside is, we remain whole, we are never broken or depleted or powerless or spent. We may have misplaced parts of us, but they are still out there, waiting to re-unite with our Self. The downside is, if we have lingering judgements about parts of ourselves, the very parts that make us whole, the judgements can drive us to want to separate from our Self. Can fool us into thinking there are parts of us that we need to burn out or get rid of, when actually, if we embrace all of ourselves with non-judgement, we embrace our fullness, our full power, our full potential, wisdom, and insight.

So in the song amazing grace- I once was lost and now am found, takes on a whole new meaning. The concept of having the desire to "find myself" has a different ring to it. So whether we lose our keys or part of our self, it's all there to be found. And if we can always find, we can't lose, and if we can't lose, then we can't lose!
