I love the spin you have put on the clichΓ© " path of least resistance". I think like with SOOO much stuff we kinda just have grown up with, hear regularly, accept just as we have heard it said within the same ole same ole context, ( and I speak for myself here) -- never really given it much thought. I look forward to the new view of ' what least resistance can look like". Actually - as I write this, a memory dawns on me. One that goes as far back as 2010/11. A time when I was going through massive changes, shifts, lifestyle etc - upheaval on steroids. I had no other option but to stay put - take the path of least resistance. The imagery that I had to help me cope, was that is being held and embodied by a bank of mist. I could not move out of the mist, which obscured the way forward. I had to come to terms of a time when the mist knew what was the best for me. Knowing that in my discombobulated state, I could do more damage to myself than good. And then eventually, the mist dissipated and dissolved. I was able to move forward, one step at a time. Hmmm - probably way more times that I did this than I recall.
