As Way Opens

Nicely put. This is similar to the idea of "support", of choosing our path based in part on how others and the world are responding to our actions. Is the way supported? Is it going (relatively) smoothly? Or are there road-blocks? If there are blocks, are they a signal to seek a different route? Or are they places we need to work through so support can flow? What is the feel or flavour of the block? Life has a flow to it. If we can step into the flow of life, we'll find surprising support shows up to help us progress in all areas of life.

I like your connection to 'support'. I'm thinking when there is lack of support for who a person really is, that is a major lack that is difficult to deal with.
