'The lighter the twist, the greater the strength. He bends and slips to make it right. What’s the best hitch to be borne away? How many loops in a love note to life? A man starts to build his own coffin but decides to turn it into a raft. He is struggling to unravel his emotional and mental knots so he can leave his grandchild one simple important piece of advice. But is it possible to give useful advice to anyone but yourself? And is being negative a negative? Dawn is coming: soon the tide turns and it´s time to go.' Source: http://lamama.com.au/ (Sighted 17/8/2012).
