There is no such thing as a straight path
To the leaf that is caught by a gust of wind
There is no such thing as a straight path
And butterfly’s journey appears as a whim
But the leaf and the butterfly teach us truth
In reckless abandonment and their pursuit:
Believe a winding path works for your kind.
Rest in the gust of wind to land in His time
Trust the Wind with the destination He brings
Life is an adventure, so spread your wings!

“We should not fool ourselves, for example that our lives move in straight lines or in well-ordered, successive stages where one experience or growth point can be said to be complete, or done once and for all.” - Befriending Our Desires by Philip Sheldrake
