Tying Knots

Pay attention to the knot.
This is the story that you must tell.
First the rope comes, and the story comes, then it makes a curve. Here it comes together with this other one - but attention! The other one must come from above. So the characters of the first story shall not see it coming, but rather, be surprised by the arrival of these new things, which becomes part of their lines as the knot unifyies them both. Now this one story with the beginning knot has met another rope. Here, the two interwoven knots are still loose. Which is the part of the story that will get them firm and tied in deffinetly? This shall be the end, represented by this third rope, coming from undeneath them. It passes over the second story and then under the first one. It comes as a surprise to the adverse conditions our characters found, but it is intrinsic to the personality of them: as it was said, it comes over the second rope and under the first one. It is what will unite both knots. A third knot will hold them together. See, now they are firm.
So, when you tell this story, please remember. Lead your fingers through the ropes as your mouth utters the prayers. Words fall down on this as beads upon a necklace, your voice speaks as your fingers go down the thread. And then, when you hit up a knot, pay attention. Remember the changes that come through the story, remember where is it that the rope will connect to: always follow the path that the knots give you, and remember with your hands the way they are tied together.
Like this, you will never forget.
The words will come from your mouth without you thinking.
The story will be brought through the knots, and brought through you. The sound is out there.
