And don't forget "tripping" a term that correlates clumsy walking to chaotic thinking.

As an autistic person, I find it fascinating that so many people don’t imagine the literal meaning of figurative language. Like I’m over here imagining us on the path and thought we were all imagining this together. lol

These expressions reinforce a linear view of time/progress that’s associated with Western cultures. Are there any analogs of expressions in languages that adopt the circular view of time, like in some African cultures?
