Life as a puzzle
Cracking the seal on a new puzzle box
Out pours a jumble of incoherent pieces
Beginning feels impossible
And an ending a mirage
Slowly patterns emerge of
Color
Texture
Shape
Size
Slight differences
Turn into important clues
Finally, you see a piece that looks similar to another
As you bring them closer
Shifting around slightly…
Pop
With ease
They just fit
Piece by piece they begin to lock into place
Sometimes you try to force them together
And sometimes you even convince yourself
But, there is always an indication
However small of a blemish
That they just don’t quite fit
Working inwards
With every rush of alignment
You discover even more missing pieces
Life is
An infinity of pieces
An infinity of choices
With each discovery
You are awakened to a million more
I really like “Life as a Puzzle”! My favorite line is “An infinity of choices” even though to have a choice seems impossible at times to me. To have a choice would would often appear as a luxury yet even no choice is still a form of choice. Sometimes you’ve just gotta do what you’ve gotta do!
To assist with your puzzles, you might search for “Oblique Strategies” by Brian Eno. I’ve used them as an oracle and for amusement. I have them installed on my desktop and also the physical cards.
Yes! Great resource. I have this tabbed in my browser menu: http://oblicard.com
Delightful way to consider what is going on in your life. Fits right in with being quirky because it is creative and different.
