You’re right son, your lines are perfect…dancing and curving, just the way nature intended.
Turns out, in nature there are no straight lines. The beauty and power lay in the twists and turns. Even the greatest of nature’s lines, the horizon, presents with a gentle slope.
When we stop trusting our intuition,
When we stop connecting with the parts of life that bring out the best in us,
When we stop believing in our ability to make the world a little better, at any age,
Our lines straighten.
There is no magic in a straight line.
In his own way, Summit was delivering the same wisdom I experienced at MEA last December and the same wisdom I’ve tried to build into my new program, Madefor—our best days lay ahead. By reconnecting with our inner nature and unique path, we can all unlock a little magic in our lives.
May all of our lines continue to bend, perfectly.
