Meaning
This can be taken to mean that purpose is hard to spot while life is still unfolding. The line reads as a wary thought about how destiny, if it exists, may arrive looking ordinary, which makes hindsight easier than recognition. It lands when someone later realizes an important turning point only after it has already passed.
