Picture Puzzles
Picture Puzzles Help To Teach Us
the Great Value of Flexible Thinking,
to Seek and Expand Our Understandings,
to Just Set Aside What Doesn’t Work
When Linking Pieces to Others-
‘Clues’ that Just Don’t Fit, or
‘Clues’ that Fit But Don’t ‘Actually’ Fit-
to Continue to Look For Answers
Even When Seeing the Picture Whole
In Healthy Humility As We Grow-
Always Something More To Know…
Puzzles Teach Appreciation For Uncertainties,
the Value of Honest Doubt- the Value
of Questions With Need For Evidence,
For a Willingness to Question ‘Dog-mas’-
that of Our Own or Others-
Valid Yet Incomplete Answers,
‘Collars’ that Fit but Don’t ‘Actually’ Fit-
a Willingness to Move Forward
to Higher, Wider, Deeper Understandings
that Help Us Collectively To Grow…
Some Puzzles Become More and More ‘Complex’
Exercises of a Mental Evolution
Where Intuition Breaks Through
to Aid Powers Of Intelligence,
Where Curiosity First Leads Us
To Explore Piece By Piece, Bit By Bit,
With Logic and Powers of Deduction,
With Shape and Pattern Recognition
Then To Sudden Leaps In Awareness
Beyond The Computer Mind-
a Direct, Intuitive Knowing
Then Comes To Our ‘Defence’-
an Inner Force ‘Activates’
When We Truly, Truly Care-
Helping Us To Find Our Answers-
Even That ‘Missing Piece’ of the Puzzle
Hidden Under Our Own Chair…
God Is Giving Us A Whole Universe
Of Wondrous, Invisible Puzzles,
Puzzles To Invite Us All To Grow
and To Stretch Far Beyond
What We Think We Know…
