the puzzle
k- i'm gonna try to explain somthing without saying exactly waht I'm talking about- those of you who know me super well will know exactly what situation I am talking about- if you dont know me super well- hopefully you will get the idea....i have a feeling this is going to be a confusing blog considering the "pre -explanation" was super confusing....kay here is my analogy
I have this beautiful puzzle - it was a working progress- after time and lessons learned I get more pieces, slowly completing this work of art before me. With each circomstance I get more pieces making my picture nothig but wonderful. But even though i get new puzzle pieces all the time, i am loosing the pieces that i had from before. Some of this is a result of circomstance but unfortunalty the main reason is my own stuborness and pride. To proud to admit that somthing is missing, to proud to take the time and crawl on the ground and look for my own pieces; Pieces I once had and tresured. I have become content with the hole in my puzzle- after all, i still get the general idea of what the picture is, it still is eye catching. Its just one hole. why bother?
Well the fact is - i need to bother. Why on earth would I want somthing less than the full picture. Don't I want to increase its beauty? Why would I settle for seccond best- why would I settle for somthing less than what the puzzle was ment to be?
If that isn't enough motivation to get off this high horse I'm on... there is another factor that I need to consider, and this next factor is probley the most improtant one that I have over looked. This puzzle was a gift from someone who loves me very much. This person has given so much to me, never expecting anything in return. This puzzle given to me is a masterpiece. I am settleing for somthing short of what the gift was ment to be. How rude is that? It's not like I paid hard earned cash for this puzzle ( if that were the case, it would be my loss). But the fact is the incomplete picture is not mine to leave undone. If someone only used part of a gift i gave them, i think I would be disapointed. This gift is precious, beautiful and good- but... I lost the pieces.
If I'm too proud to admit that I am not content with an undone puzzle, then I need to do it for the one who gave me the puzzle.
So here I go- I'm jumping off this tower of pride and crawling on the dirty ground untill I recover every missing piece.
The truth is- no matter how stubborn or proud I appear, its really just a mask. A mask hiding fear. Fear that I won't beable to find the pieces or fear of finding the puzzle pieces, discouvering that they are to damaged to fit in my puzzle again. Cuz really those puzzle pieces are precious and I really long for them.
So I need to make the choice. No one will force me to take this gift.
But I choose the gift. So I'm gonna take of this mask. I am going to look for those missing pieces. And when I find them, if they are damaged, I wont rest untill they are fixed.
This puzzle was ment to bring somthing beautiful in my life.
I choose beauty- The beauty in this art
I will not rest till my picture is complete
