An idea from Walden

Two young men walked home one dark night through woods they knew well, and wandered lost until nearly morning, close to their own houses. Getting lost can be useful. “Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves.”

From Walden by Henry David Thoreau
