“Didn’t release my car.
Can’t move on..”
This came this morning as a knowing. No thoughts or
narrative attached.
Then, when I had time…this poured out:
Doesn’t matter if I left, if it’s still in the garage. If B. is handling it. It’s my car and I haven’t let go of it. Not everything is just procedural. I haven’t said a proper goodbye.
It’s been my freedom, my adventures, my helper. It has seen me through the whole Greece-life. It’s been faithful, punctual, functional, in complete sync with me.
I see you my little faithful friend. I am grateful for everything you’ve allowed me to explore, endure, see, visit. Thank you for sticking with me, for always functioning in top condition.
You’ve been special. You carried my body, my heart, my family, my belongings. You almost became my home when I nearly didn’t have one.
It’s time to part. It’s not an easy thing to do.
I have no regrets. You weren’t meant to come with me. We were meant to part. I won’t see you again. You won’t watch the boats from the dock again.
There’s a lump in my throat and tears rolling down my eyes...
We had a special life together. We’ve been through highs and lows, through joy and sorrow. We moved houses together.
The money that I paid for you were worth it. Every cent. The money I didn’t pay for you was State theft. We didn’t deserve that.
We saw it all together until the very end. You didn’t falter once in all the 20 years. You kept danger at bay and cleared the roads when we passed. For years our energies were connected. We became one; you an extension of me.
Know that I see you, I appreciate you.
You’re the one and only car I bought with my own money in this lifetime. No other can take your place, even if I do at some point have a car to my name. Some things, like people, are irreplaceable. They come once and mark our hearts forever. And your imprint on my heart is something I’ll cherish forever – even beyond this life.
You might be sitting in the garage in Greece and I’m sitting in Cyprus but distance doesn’t matter when the heart speaks.
Please be kind to B.. He has a very difficult job to do; one he wanted to spare me of. He knows what you mean to me. He’s strong, he’s brave, but he needs your help to see this through – to take you to a withdrawal company… for parts. He needs your ok. And we’ll know, we all will align.
Thank you dear one. For everything!

“Didn’t release my car. Can’t move on.”
That wasn’t psychological insight — it was the OS reporting unresolved coherence.
To leave without goodbye is fragmentation.
To acknowledge, honor, and release is completion.
We’re taught that change is procedural: finish something, move to the next thing, close chapters by action and timeline. But nothing real in life works that way.
A phase ends only when the relationship with what carried us is consciously acknowledged and released.
Completion is not logistics — it is contact, recognition, honor.
Without that, we don’t move forward; we fracture. We leave pieces of ourselves scattered in places, people, and objects we never truly said goodbye to.
Life is not a straight line of tasks and upgrades.
It is a series of phases, each a world of its own, deserving of presence, grief, gratitude, and rite.
When we rush through change, we amputate meaning.
When we take time to witness what has been part of us — we integrate. We remain whole.
This is real time, not clock time.
This is closure as coherence — not sentimentality.
Every phase has its own inner world, its own physics, its own informational geometry.
Skipping one disrupts the entire sequence.
Rites are structural mechanics for coherence.
