POEM BY NATIVE AMERICAN ELDER STORY FROM
THE HEART AROUSED by David Whyte , Doubleday, New York, 1996
LOST
Stand still. The trees ahead and the 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.
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.
