The Big Clue is at 3:04-3:15. See the Cat? See the Cradle? (Cat’s Cradle by Vonnegut) Here he is the seeker, the poor traveler, blown in on the wind, searching for the ideal love/destiny. His own conscious efforts and knowledge are almost futile, any impatience or assumption are stumblingblocks to his path, making him miss a potentially perfect encounter/destiny by mere moments. Still, he follows with all his heart, wherever or however it leads.

The "Big Clue" is at 3:07-3:15. See the cat? See the cradle? (Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut) This is about seeking the perfect destiny, the pure mystery of love. He is the poor traveler/seeker, blown in on the wind, his own conscious efforts and knowledge almost futile, perhaps just missing that perfect encounter by a few moments -- but always seeking, always moving on after it by any means possible, wherever it leads.

@samantha3165 Big Log is a mythical, extended metaphor for a lost love: "My love is in league with the freeway... My love is the miles and the waiting." A Big Log is common lingo of tractor trailer drivers. It is the book in which their road hours are logged, therefore the connection between the road and love and the countless hours we all log on both.
