And while eating a black-raspberry muffin I recognize I could write an entirely different ending to this story if I wanted to. There is a scenario in which I could will and muscle myself into completing the puzzle. Doing so would likely teach me something and I would grow as a result. Maybe I could even teach myself to love jigsaws.

“And today’s LoveLetter, filled with enigmas!”

“...we are only responsible for one connection.” Finding and attaching a puzzle piece? Finding and nurturing our connections with self/essence? Our connection with Great Spirit?

“... our human had little energy for jigsaws... and we are learning so much.” Is an excess of energy the explanation? Has Loveletterist discovered she has an eye for what fits where? Many hands make light the work?

Miranda Lambert: “Ever since the beginning, to keep the world spinning... it takes all kinds of kinds.” By now you must think I’m a dummy! (I get this one! 😉)

In all fairness - to you - life by its nature can be ambiguous. Sometimes disorientingly so. And can be surprisingly delightful. A young neighbor girl, eleven-ish, just rang our doorbell to ask if she could walk Izzie? They’ve gotten to know each other well in recent months. When I put on her walking collar with retractable leash, I saw joy abounding! Both in Calista and Izzie. Being flexible and open to possibilities can bear wonderful fruit! Even cherry tomatoes. 😁
