The philosopher, Walter Benjamin said that only when we lose ourselves are we fully present, and to be fully present is to be capable of being, in uncertainty and mystery.

The art of knowing how to get lost involves daring to go beyond the boundaries that contain you and explore the unknown. To escape for a day from the safe path and enter the unforeseen.

And it doesn't mean that you need to wander into a forest on your own, without a map or GPS. There are many simple ways to get lost — reading an engrossing book, engaging in a conversation about a topic you don’t know much about, or just trying a new meal in a restaurant that is outside of your usual.

Feeling lost can be a gift — if you only choose to look at it this way. It’s a state that presents opportunities you can’t see when you live your life according to a predictable schedule. It involves opening yourself up to the uncertain and the new. It stimulates your imagination and gives you new perspectives.

Let's all go out and get more lost.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
