On Being with Krista Tippett
This is the book that contains the poem "Lost" by David Wagoner, which Padraig O'Tooma says he's been invoking for years. The poem is about finding oneself, and the importance of paying attention to the world around you. It uses the metaphor of being lost in the forest to speak to different circumstances in life, and how being lost can make you feel, and what you can do about it.
Lost comes from David Wagoner's book Traveling Light Collected and New Poems.
