Have you ever been lost? I am not talking about being lost on our way to another destination. That is frustrating and sometimes scary. I am talking about being lost here in our heads (point to head) and here in our hearts (point to heart.)
David Damico would probably call this kind of loss "a loss of purpose." A loss of purpose is a scary kind of loss. It is disconcerting. To live with no purpose is to live often with no hope and no joy and no peace and no love.
