Lost
- David Wagoner

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.

I know there are supposedly happy people in this world. I never believed it, but I take it for granted. God knows, they’re all on television.

EVERY STUDENT IN ORGO LAB

 thedailyfeed: Augusten Burroughs is done writing about himself. And for the best-selling memoirist who mined his traumatic, stranger-than-fiction life for six best-selling books, including 2002’s “Running with Scissors,” that’s a big deal. He filled The Daily in on his new self-help book.  “In a way, I feel like my whole career has been leading up to writing this,” Burroughs said of “This Is How.” “Because I’ve gone through so much stuff and turned out okay. As a child, I never had the benefit of adults in my life who I could go to and ask for guidance. I had to solve all my own problems. And there’s no reason to think that the way I personally overcame incredible trauma is just a freak result and won’t work for other people.”

Meet a true American hero, Sgt. Julia Bringloe. During an epic 60-hour, three-day mission, Bringloe and her crew rescued 14 wounded troops, extracted a soldier killed in action and flew three critical resupply missions. Now she’s nominated for the Distinguished Flying Cross, which has only been awarded to seven women (including Amelia Earhart!). 

“I could hear bullets flying past my head,” she told The Daily. “It got pretty crazy.”

this woman rocks.
