The twists and turns of life

“Sometimes, taking the path that twists and turns yields the best result.”

I’ve lately been picking up quotes. However, I found the quote above as an interesting introduction to an article on painting Easter eggs! If you’re wondering what the connection is – it talks about marbleized eggs. The kind where streaks of colors whirl and twirl to create unique patterns.

Well, that’s what they were talking about but what intrigued me was the nugget of wisdom hidden in that innocuous statement. Isn’t that what happens to most of us? With each storm, each moment of pain, every instance of despair, we just become more like who we’re supposed to be. Of course, it’s hard to understand while we’re walking through fire, but when we look back we see, oh so clearly - the road that twists and turns is often followed by a strength that’s rare and a character that’s beautiful within and without.
