“...[T]he practice of getting lost has nothing to do with wanting to go there. It is something that happens, like it or not. You lose your job, your lover leaves, the baby dies. At this level, the advanced practice of getting lost consists of consenting to be lost, since you have no other choice. The consenting itself becomes your choice, as you explore the possibility that life is for you, not against you, in spite of all of the evidence to the contrary. [The point is] anything can become a spiritual practice once you are willing to approach it that way...”
Barbara Bradford Taylor, An Altar in the World (2009)
