Nice post. I liked the basic concept. My back lot has paths I've mowed in following natural directions, and then various other species have reinforced these. I also appreciate the way you extended the metaphor. To recognize the natural pathways one takes within oneś own life space. Nicely done.

Thanks for the new term! I love that. Reminds me of Theodore Roethke's poem "The Waking."

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.

I learn by going where I have to go.
