I'm going to keep this piece open in my browser and come back to it from time to time for encouragement and reminders to get out of my rut and get back on my journey.

The concept of shifting timelines is very interesting and adds to my own thoughts on time and time travel: "I believe that souls are time travelers in that we can choose to improv-script our masterclasses at any point in time. I do not believe an already-lived life has to have taken place in the past nor that a yet-to-be-lived life has to take place in the future. I do not believe that the paradoxes of timeline crossing as discussed in science fiction present an issue. Each chosen setting is an alternate reality.” Your mention of shifting timelines adds that we can create alternate realities even within a lifecycle. Why not. :-)
