It’s All About Knots

From the knot untied at birth to the shoelaces learned on winter afternoons, each moment of growing up is linked to a different kind of knot. Some knots tighten in the throat on the first day of school, others are loosened by sharing small daily stories. As the child grows, he learns that knots—like imperfections—make each life unique and strong. There are playful knots, worried knots, and proud knots, like the one on a first tie for a job interview. Gradually, the time comes to loosen the knots and set sail toward independence. Yet the first knot of love remains, an inner bond that distance cannot undo.
