I was recently having a conversation with an old friend of mine out west. We have managed to keep touch over the years and it’s good to catch up on what we’ve been doing, how our families are, etc.
We used to work for the same company and had been brought into this location along with about 8 other high end I.T. types for the start-up of a new project. We found out we had a lot in common and developed a good friendship quickly.
He asked me if I had heard anything from a certain someone I had been…close with…back in those times. I had a few images pass my minds eye, felt a few feelings I hadn’t felt in years, and then said, no, I hadn’t. I came to feel it was time to close the door on that chapter of my life and to go forward… Not turn back…
But it also reminded me of a conversation I had with someone special to me about a decade ago. The subject was basically can we ever turn back… Can we get back to a place where we were at one point in time to basically then go forward, but in a different direction this time… I thought then that we could, she was skeptical, but tried… And we failed…
Maybe…. Sometimes.… That which is buried in the past should remain covered.
…………………………………………………………………there is no turning back.

To quote from a more contemporary musical than you're other posting (i.e., Wicked):
"Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little - well - complicated
There's a kind of a sort of: cost
There's a couple of things get: lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed"
How do you know the difference between (a) a wrong direction that you can turn around, go back, and take the right path, and (b) the point of no return?
That is a good question... One could say that if you feel as if you have passed the Schwartzchild Radius, you are at the point of no return. I guess that might suggest a very major collapse of some sort.
Where as, if you have had a simple disagreement, a wrong turn, you should be able to backtrack and get back on the proper course.
I don't know sometimes... Just follow instinct and hope it is right.
Oh, btw, those lyrics... Very... Wicked...
