Reminds me of thermodynamics where I learned about entropy and irreversible processes.

I have issues with commitment, so "no return" tends to conjure unease in me, a lost option.

Return, strictly speaking, would designate a single path. Ahead, many possible paths seem to exist.

Generally, premature return would mean an aborted mission.

Good thoughts, thanks for commenting! Another facet might include the idea of never entering the same river twice. If time flows only forward, then what we think of as "return" really is not. Hmm.
