If you could do it...

If you could do it, I suppose it would be a good idea to live your life in a straight line --
starting, say, in the Dark Wood of Error, and proceeding by logical steps through Hell
and Purgatory and into Heaven. Or you could take the King's Highway past appropriately
named dangers, toils, and snares, and finally cross the River of Death and enter the
Celestial City. But that is not the way I have done it, so far. I am a pilgrim, but my
pilgrimage has been wandering and unmarked. Often what has looked like a straight line
to me has been a circle or a doubling back.
