travellers' restlessness

[nibot]

Writing back to this friend in Zambia, I was inclined to mention how various people are "doing"--what is Kenny up to? and Ryan and Jeff and, well, everyone. But then I realized, of course, these people do not know each other. They are in isolated groups groups of friends from various episodes, long passed and probably never intersecting in any meaningful way.

It's "travellers' restlessness" as I call it—after travelling any bit, you'll be perpetually homesick for somewhere, someone. And these episodes in the depths of time— I do not know how to think of them. They cannot, like places, be returned to. I prefer the interpretation in the 1995 Yugoslavian film Underground.

I always *tear in the movies when someone gets so attached to returning to a place, when all they want to do is return to a time....Wages of Fear

Underground! what was your interpretation of that? that was weird, but a happy ending.......but I think the interpretation, if it can be interpreted is in the realm of afterworld stuff
