Episode 33: Getting Lost Will Help
"If we don't get lost, then we can't really be found - we can't remember what it feels like to come back home if we never learn to really wander."
When was the last time you were lost? Buffy moves us through stories of getting lost, distinguishing its different varieties in a way both poetic and practical. A healthy kind of getting lost feels like a lost that creates strength and gratitude to return home. Listen for stories of Christopher McCandless, the Man on the Moon, and a dense Alabama forest.
