But not all connections were harmonious. Sometimes, threads would become entangled, their songs turning to dissonant shrieks. These were the knots of fear, of anger, of despair. The Weaver did not try to untangle these knots by force. Instead, it would gently surround them with threads of compassion, of understanding, of hope. It would not erase the pain, but would help the entangled threads to find a new way of being with their pain, to integrate it into their song, to transform it into a source of strength and resilience.
