“And I am out with lanterns looking for myself.” – Emily Dickenson
This piece tells the story of those times when we may feel lost to ourselves, or perhaps even lost within ourselves.  Above the surface, there is a sense of being stranded inside a shell of a self, lost in a jungle, a bit ghostly and stark.  But Ah! Beneath the surface there is a realm of many riches, where the water of life is still flowing and the keys to the puzzles of life are nestled. The roots of our being instinctively know how to tap this deeper source of hope, sustenance, and direction. Though they are not visible on the surface, we can trust those roots to connect us to everything we need to find ourselves again.
