From the Elf:

The Road is neither straight, nor winding, nor does it even seem to make sense at times. No matter who you are, you will trip on it (probably cause you're a klutz). Don't be afraid to make a fool out of yourself on it when its a dark and moonlit night and you feel like dancing. Any other time is fine too. Logic works at points but at some times, you have to jump off of it and fly into the woods on either side. Just a bit of a rambling from a guy stumbling down a forest road, swatting 80 million flies away =)
