Forrests Giant Ball of String - What is he hinting to?

[deb]

Been there and back, all I got was a stupid acorn. Know how long it will take to get a sizable tree from an acorn?

Yes lots of word connections.

Don't get tangled in the strings

string =ring st.= Bell Ave. Don't have a location for Bell Ave yet, that's just how my mind works.

Been told you can't unring a bell.

Ariadne's thread. It's in a cave

Interesting read on Ariadne's thread (logic). Perhaps Forrest has woven/constructed a multi-dimensional labyrinth (minus the Minotaur). So many choices to make! Thanks

I have thought the chase is based on that idea. The labyrinth of Forrests history, the clews he wrote into the book, each tied into a giant ball of string. Its up to us to follow it to the treasure. I also had considered the big ball of string to be the idea of the theory of everything, or string theory. That everything everwhere is composed of strings of energy and that when our bodies die we become one with the universe, therefore a part of the stars, out in the sky where we can join our loved ones at the great dinner table of the beyond.

See how my oddness becomes a loop? The stars, the myths from the stars leading back to the stars. Yes, I know...not a kiss theory.lol

I just googled what Liv mentioned and read about the labyrinth, etc.

He said he used mostly white string, and tied the strings end to end. His big ball of string is literally a lie, and he kept making ti bigger by just adding on other little white lies. Who has a ball of string too big to roll out the door, really?

I always thought that the clues were all tied together by one common it like the ball of string has individual pieces all connected together. So each clue location is a separate thing but they all are connected together by a common theme, trail, person etc.
