Clearly I was immediately reminded of "isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string..." A very lazy Google search mostly yields results from the book (and a third eye blind song, haha)
Summary: Liza and Jeremy (twins) are awakened by a storm one night. In fear, they run to their mother. In response their mother tells them the story, told to her by her mother, of the invisible string. This string forever keeps them connected to her and all they love despite where they find themselves. As a result, they are never alone.
Theological conversation partners: The discomfort and fear of being alone is one we grapple with in this life often. It is even a question addressed in scripture. We find in scripture, both the Old and New Testaments, that God is active and always present in our lives. Though we may feel alone we are never alone. Jesus promises us in Matthews 28:20 that he will be with us until the end of time. Jesus also promises us in John 16:7 that in his absence he has sent the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to guide and be with us. It is the Holy Spirit, much like the invisible string, that assures us we are never alone and that we are always connected to the One who loves us.
