I’ve walked straight lines before.
Jobs that looked safe. Plans that felt solid. Relationships that followed the script.
And most of the time, I ended up lost, trapped and broken hearted.
The world loves the straight line. It looks good on a resume. It makes your family proud and it makes your friends comfortable.
Today’s quote isn’t talking about geometry…
… it is talking about the human condition. The grand illusion that the shortest distance between two points is the best one. The easiest route often leads to the hardest outcome.
Today is the day we stop trying to draw straight lines and instead start walking on the path that travels through valleys and over mountain ranges.
We have a little Latin down in the grabber section this morning. It translates to “the abyss calls out.”
One wrong turn, one dumbass decision leads to another wrong turn and another stupid decision. That wrong turn leads to an emptiness that nobody wants.
Rainy and warm on this humpday in late April.
Today is Saint George Day. Go out and sleigh a dragon…..
