On the way to Somewhere

I have just finished reading Caroline Ahern's A Place Called Here, where the owner of missing person's agency goes missing herself. She find herself in a world where missing things and people inhabit and because she had chosen to have little connection with family and friends no one was unduly worried when she went missing. Except for a man whose brother she had promised to help find.

A good read, the book at the end says 'we all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice
sometimes due to forces beyond our control.....But regardless, always we are found'

I think being found is a deliberate choice that we make, as did this character who refused to believe like the others living 'Here' that she should stay.

Hansel and Gretel left breadcrumbs so that they would be traced, so do we whether consciously or unconsciously. We drop off something of ourselves in the people we come in contact with so that one day when we have lost our way, they can find us and bring us back.
