Urania’s nose wrinkles. Deep lines, built over a lifetime, reveal themselves around her eyes. “One! Of all that is now linked — we are only responsible for one connection.” “An x-pearrrr-i-ment!” Thalia runs her fingers through Loveletterist’s mane whose locks now sport café au lait, kissed-by-the-sun hairs among the grays. “We knew our human had little energy for jigsaws when we made the purchase — and yet — we are learning so much!”
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.

A book that left a big impression on me is Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks. One of my take-aways was… Do you think it’s difficult to live like a monk? Try taking that mindset out into the world at large! 😂
“...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. 😁
Yes! All that. Impending outpatient surgery, to be scheduled, will require an initial 3-5 day “take it very easy” beginning to the recovery period of about 3 weeks. She could be the solution for that as well.

Typist,
On the wall in my home is a piece of art that reads: Peace
It is not about silence.
It is not a place without trouble or fear.
Peace is
standing in the middle of chaos and finding
the calm in your heart.
Yes, I’m one of those people with “wordy art” on my walls!
I know a comedian out there did a skit on this once, but I can’t remember who it was...
What’s wrong with wordy art?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I like that definition!

And this is why poets are vague?! To allow those who read to come up with interest the poet never even considered! 😁
How wonderful that the Great Mystery sent along a walking pal for Iz while you sort out your leg challenges. Opportunities?

I typed “inference” and it somehow auto corrected to “interest”. 🤷♀️ Both work!!!
This or that! 🤷🏽 😉
