As Way Opens

I reflected on the phrase "Proceed as way opens or As way opens". To me, this does not only encourage me to take a pause and listen to my heart. I would say, that the phrase means it makes more sense to proceed when the way is free of obstacles. It would be a lot easier to proceed if the way is open. One can also of course open the door or the gate. It is something like, if a fruit is ripe, not only will it be easier to pluck, but if it is ready for picking, "the way is open", it will taste much better.
