Tangled lives - we rarely live in straight lines.
Sometimes we move from A to B by the shortest route - the straight line - but often there are twists and turns, leaps and pauses. There are the chance crossings with others that provide a step up where we might otherwise have turned a different way, or taken longer to reach the same place. We make plans, but how often do they follow through exactly?
Straight lines might be neat, but the twists and turns are where we meet interesting people, where we meet the unexpected. They can be the biggest places of growth for us.
What a wonderful page and sentiment, Tracy. It's those delightful loops and curls that truly make life fascinating. They certainly lead to more colour and texture than one could find by travelling a straight path!
