The young man knows that he is irretrievably lost. This is no town of cats, he finally realizes. It is the place where he is meant to be lost.

One never knows what is going to happen. It keeps you continuously in wonder. Don't call it uncertainty - call it wonder. Don't call it insecurity - call it freedom.
