Going back

People say never go back and by and large I would agree with them. Certainly, I would never attempt to rekindle the relationships that I have had with several women. Sure we can be friends (most are) but you can never recapture the magic of the first time and, sure as hell, the reasons why you split will resurface. If you do go back, my advice is 'Fuck them' literally.

Then there are experiences like the time a Peacock butterfly came out of its pupa in the warmth of my hand; like to see that again. Same with the Golden Eagle on some pine in Scotland - the evening sun shone on his head and then you understand why they call it the 'Golden Eagle.' I have been to 2 total eclipses of the sun - 1st was in Plymouth but it was cloudy so the sky went dark and that was it - 2nd was in Turkey on a cloudless day, utterly magical. Yep I'd do that again tomorrow. Trouble with eclipses though is that they do naughty things like appear in the middle of the Pacific where you can't get to.

Places? Been to many several times but they were kinda casual visits. So where to go again? Antarctica - been twice - the most beautiful place on Earth. Sit with the Mountain Gorilla - oh yes for that is unforgettable. New Orleans? I love the feeling of being surrounded by sin. And London and New York get me buzzing like nowhere else in the world.

BUT, no really big urge to go back. I want to see new things!!
