Loops and Knots
Sometimes things tie and untie themselves without there being time to make a loop or tighten it by pulling the ends. Perhaps those loops were only slight intertwinings of affinities and trans- fers which vanished when time was up.
Acausal connections that never had the intention of creating a tie or even plaiting, and therefore untying was an easy task for the person who left the knot loose, as he did so knowing that it would be sufficient to tug the end when appropriate.
Momentary correspondences transformed into lost gifts, with no second time. Events to rush destiny and trigger outcomes, as anyone who never wishes to be tied to anything never makes a knot.
