The opposite of lost is knowing where you're going — and choosing not to.
means To move about with no fixed route or destination, drifting wherever the path or the mind happens to lead.
from From Old English 'wandrian,' to roam or stray, a kin of the Germanic family that also gave us 'wind' (the verb — to twist and turn) and possibly 'wend.' The whole cluster shares a sense of curving, meandering motion rather than a straight march. Note its close cousin 'wonder': to let the mind wander is, fittingly, to wonder — though the two words came down separate but neighboring roads.
