Thief, with your poetry lyrics, I know that the song is part of your magical influence. Dylan’s back pages show his inner growth ~ “ I was so much older then, I’m much younger than that now”. Renewed, toss out the back pages of belief system pages and start again. He was labelled a prophet, sage and realized he knew nothing and to start fresh, recreate himself and his music.
And, then I think of Akashic Records, a soul’s Book and this takes in a deeper meaning which you and Dylan point out. A soul travels through the ages, matrix of lives, collecting experiences. Back pages written are part of our growth but moving forwards is to expand, be open to new experiences.
A very interesting piece, Thief ~ we become children again we we start fresh. Create the life we hope offers soul growth.
Lots of layers here, Thief ~ which you enjoy layering for us.
