The direct path rarely happens

We humans like to think that the direct path is true. Commence at Point A, and proceed in a nice orderly way to your destination.
Our desire for the direct path is woven with our belief in dominion over life and Nature. We get to call the shots. We can use our mind to bend Nature to our will.
Fools are we.
Spending time in Nature, in the ocean, in a storm, or lost in a forest teaches us that the power of Nature, the power of life itself, is far greater than humans.
The path is more often oblique, precessional, sideways. Life is messy.
Indeed, creativity is unlocked when we invite obliquity into our plans. The left-of-field, the unexpected, unforeseen.
Linear, logical, step-by-step plans deny the complexity, novelty and sheer beauty of being alive.
Emergence, dancing with change, being on the edge — this is to live, create and design.
Yet in our default world, we ask, train and pay for linear, logical, processes.
In so doing we edit out resilience and our leadership capacity to embrace emergence.
