The Naturalist's Guidebook, Part 6

The Eternal Return

TYPE: Phenomenon TIME: When The Time Is Right  RARITY: Common

DESCRIPTION:

It is said that nobody ever truly leaves Tumblr. Even in the minds and hearts of those who left it behind long ago it persists, hidden but living, always ready to proffer a memory or an emotion from long ago and send a wave of nostalgia coursing through their veins. And more often than not, they do come back. To greet old friends, and make new ones in the process; to settle in with a brand new joy in the place they feel will nurture it safely. For when that bell of enthusiasm chimes in their head it is not new horizons that they seek to have it heard upon. The sound has a home already.

FIELD NOTES: 

The primal urge to return might have a biological or physiological root worth investigating: perhaps an organ or organism grows within, nurtured by Tumblr’s atmosphere? 

New users that arrive during the Migration often find themselves accompanied by those on the path of the Return. This allows for sharing of tales and advice between generations. 

The Returners bring with them knowledge and affinities from elsewhere; in this way they re-seed the Tumblr landscape with healthy biodiversity.

arrival 2016 is like. here is a story where the end is the beginning. here is a story in which the tale finishes before it starts. here is a story where the outcomes are predetermined. here is a story in which you must follow the tracks, and trying to veer off will only bend them in your direction. here is a story where the words you will write have been pre-transcribed, where the innocent questions your child asks have been pre-recorded, ready for playback to trigger recall and propel you into action. here is a story where your memory is a tool. where your memory is weaponised. where the tool is the weapon and the gift and you are all three in one.

here is the story, laid bare upon the glass, and, despite all evidence to the contrary, that story is not a tragedy.

There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always like a sketch. No, "sketch" is not quite a word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Looks like Kit's brought the clean shaven period look back for the movie he started shooting today and I don't know how to feel about it.

And before anyone asks, this is a UK production with UK actors, so they are cleared to work regardless of the U.S strike.
