"winter break", 2017 ----------------- during winter break i helped a friend plant a vegetable garden. in the garden shed there was a nice piece of rope, 100 feet long. i don't know how, but it got tangled into numerous knots, and was useless. i sat for some time by the garden, on a bluff that overwatched the sea, and began untangling it. it was tedious, in a way, but i somehow stuck with it. i finally got the last knot untangled, coiled the rope, and wrapped the two loose ends around the coils and tied them. i put the rope in a box, labeled it, and put it back in the garden shed. if someone needs it, it will be ready for use. sometimes life seems like untangling a ball of yarn the cat has played with
