Families Are Webs

Our lives are so important to us that we tend to think the story of them begins with our birth. First there was nothing then I was born.....Yet that is not so. Human lives are not pieces of string that can be separated out from a knot of others and laid out straight. Families are webs. Impossible to touch one part of it without setting the rest vibrating. Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole.

A birth is not really a beginning. Our lives at the start are not really our own but only the continuation of someone else's story.
