They say that when you get lost in the woods, you should hunker down, keep your heart rate low. Whatever you do, don’t panic. Listen to the forest. With a calm heart, figure out your next move. Seek shelter. Start a fire. Hydrate. Light a smoke signal so others can find you. Or, retrace your footsteps back home. Getting lost was inevitable. Surely, I’d lose my way again. But now I knew, I’d be okay.
