@skeletor not only that, but sometimes you can go back a bit and try a path you didn't go down before.
I love that picture!
@fnordius @skeletor yes, and there is a view that the 'life scroll' your spirit wrote before incarnation will bring you to major nexus points whichever path you take. (BUT it's not set in stone, luckily).
And if you want to get more metaphysical, imagine the path drawings of all you know, lying atop, below, and across yours. Parents, partners, children, friends and 'enemies'...
As the fucks to give dwindles, the roads open to you become many.
