Thanksgiving Inevitably, you find out you are lost, really lost; blind, really blind; stupid, really stupid; dry, really dry; hungry, really hungry; and you go on from there, says Tony. Flan says, where you came from is gone, where you thought you were going was never there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Tom says, I tried following God, but following somebody who’s everywhere and nowhere at once is just humiliating.
