you might consider that using recurring motiffs suggest that physical journeys are cyclical in nature? they always come back to haunt you, or to remind you. might also say journeys are reflective and reminiscent. the idea of learning from the past so that it may impact the present and future.

What is a recurring motiff anyway? I have never heard of it.

a recurring motiff could be theme, an object, etc...that, as the term describes it, is recurring, always seems to appear, and repeat over and over again, no matter where or when you are.

this should be more succint: from http://contemporarylit.about.com/cs/literaryterms/g/motif.htm

Definition: A recurring theme or dominant idea in a work of literature.
