Recently I read a really interesting analogy that made me think. It talked about the two ends of a shoelace. When the two ends don’t come together and stay far apart from each other, there is a real element of possible danger, pain and hurt, from the risk of constantly tripping and thus, not getting anywhere. The two ends can come together in a big, messy, clumsy knot that is really hard to untie and kind of remains stuck. The best result for the two ends is to come together and create a perfectly blended, beautiful bow. This is most likely to happen when the two ends of the shoelace remember that they are both part of the same long lace.
