intersecting lines

Paths that cross

Intersecting lines are lines that cross each other at a point.

In geometry, two lines in the same plane either intersect at exactly one point or run parallel and never meet.

The concept extends to any context where paths or trajectories cross: The intersecting lines of their lives finally brought them together.
