Our pathway in life is never straightforward, it comprises many twists and turns, sometimes going up, sometimes going down, and at other times it seems to be on a level and even track. We may turn away and follow a sidetrack before joining the pathway at a further point ahead, while occasionally there may be no option but to retrace our steps back to where we left it.
Each of us has a separate pathway, though these may join up or cross at different locations. Ultimately, as each of us makes progress through life and lifetimes, we will find that all pathways will eventually converge, as we come to know the true meaning of unity.
