This is a game we played when rain kept us inside during recess.  It involves a loop of string pulled around and between our fingers to create geometry, but often it was more asymmetrical and messy than intended.  

There are metaphors hidden within this game…

  • Life is complicated and a challenge to navigate.
  • Every action is attached by a string. 
  • Everything is connected.
  • Plans rarely turn out as intended, but imperfect results can be beautiful.
