I really need to go back to Nova Scotia – I have lots of unfinished business there.

Last year, I crashed my motorcycle 2 days into my trip around the coast. Completely totaled the fucker. And did a pretty good job on my neck and back during the process. It was what one could consider an extremely significant / altering experience in one's life, if you know what I mean.

I had the opportunity to return to the scene of the crime this spring, but ended up only making it as far as Quebec and New Brunswick (weather wasn’t that great, and I didn’t have enough time available to go all the way around NS). It also just felt like the time wasn’t quite right.

I was hoping this fall, but the calendar looks like crap right now… damnit…

Anyone else have something incomplete that their soul needs to get back to???
 
Yes, but they are things that I can't go back to. So, I have made peace with them in a different way.

For me, its going towards a new beginning. I've had to end things, and I've lost a lot over the years.

Why can't you go back to them? I've found that this is a rather important dynamic in my life -- which, obviously, would lead to the discussion of why I have the particular name that I do, etc... but I digress.

I think it's important to circle back, even if that means moving forward.

The unfinished business was with people. You can go back to a past situtation, in memory and get closure.

Yours is a particular place that you can go back to. The scene of an incident.

How does your name fit into this. If I've miss the obvious clues as to why, forgive me. My brain is half functioning, perhaps less.

Oh yes, time is linear... but not to you, because you circle back and bend it? is that it? Going back, and dealing with the past is important. I've done that. It is how I moved forward. Moving forward having changed, learned, grown. What you don't work out, you act out subconciously. My past effected all my decisions, the people I was with, the daily life I lived.

Ahhh... I truly love the sound of that...

Have you ever seen the movie "Happy Accidents" Time is talked about a lot in that movie. I love that movie, such a romantic love story and entertaining. Not just a sappy love story. So many things happen in it, and just when you think you know whats going on, everything changes.

I'm going to ponder this one for a while, but what a great question. You come up with such good ones.

(I found it when I was researching your assessment, which is done now, btw)
 
you can never repeat the unfinished. you can only redo what you thought it would be.


this whimsical insight has been brought to you by the producers of hydrocodone and skelaxin.
