Tying A Knot



Have you ever wondered how life and
tying a knot are so much in common?
How each turn and twist you make on
the line either binds tighter or makes
for a beautiful woven array. That
with each turn of the rope yields
another series of tasks and turns to
achieve. How with rope some knots
even tied wrong as long as they are
not cinched all the way, they can be
released and tied a different way.
The same goes with life, each day a
series of life's strings are given to
each of us to twist and tie together
to make the tapestry of our lives
