That statement got me inspired after seeing it as part of a meditation on my CALM app. Boy, does that idea invoke a lot from me. I had been reading through some old posts again like I do on occasion. Maybe I need another library book, ha ha! 📕Several thoughts written years ago mentioned puzzles 🧩 and finding that missing piece or completing one. Such a commonality back then but some puzzles are never fully solved. All those questions I’d ask and only few have been answered.
Life is like that but as humans, we will always ponder. It made me think of “The Missing Piece” by Shel Silverstein. Yes, it’s a children’s book but the message applies to us all. I was able to “read” it on YouTube as it’s quite short. I needed to remember. No spoilers for anyone unfamiliar. I own several of Shel’s books but not that one. Do we really need that one piece of whatever it is to be whole? I’m sure many of you know that scene at the end of the movie “Jerry MaGuire” when he tells Dorothy : “you complete me.” I will admit that I melted but critics have ripped it to shreds. No, we don’t NEED another to complete us (as our missing piece) as we are whole ourselves. It’s still a beautiful moment though to me. Jerry realizes he is better when with Dorothy so we do need that connection… 💖
Collectively, we all need or want the same things. We crave a loving family, a stable home life, a successful career or life lived, good health, and many others. Did Warrior have all his pieces to the puzzle completed before he left? Maybe but there will always be other internal battles we never see. I do know WWF back then filled my puzzle as I craved the excitement but little did I know just how much had to happen as it was only beginning… The trick is to not force that piece to fit which metaphorically we tend to do. I still see the word of ***FLOW***in my life so we need to let go a bit and just let life happen the way it needs. We can do our part and the Universe will do theirs.
Similar to Shel’s book, we seem to be on a constant quest for what fits exactly in our life when nothing ever will be perfect. Kinda like the other book I had as a P. S. last week all about imperfection. Things may seem to line up but then sometimes, there’s rough edges, changes, or maybe even that piece wants to go join another puzzle. That encompasses many relationships as we may go and build other ones. Some may go as they’re choosing but others are forced to begin again with an entirely new “box” of pieces scattered all over.
How is it like for you? Do you keep on that search for a elusive piece which you feel will fill your puzzle? We can and do as it all doesn’t have to be negative like we are “scrambling around looking for the pieces of the shattered kingdom of madness!” That’s what Ultimate Warrior said about Macho “King” Randy Savage before WMVII. If we feel something is right for us, follow the signs because they matter. Just try to decipher what is worth fitting in your life and what needs to roll along as in Shel’s book. Many of you loyal readers may think Warrior is my missing piece because of words written or topics chosen. I can understand that but really~ we need to see others as a compliment to ourselves and not our entire being. We admire qualities or traits in them, as I still stand by that statement from MY book “Spirit and Belief.” That is all part of the never ending puzzle of life for everyone.
All those things reflect back to us, but we always need to keep a hold of our inner self despite the pieces that seem endless to form. It’s like how we will never have those ducks 🦆 in a row or get timing just right to begin anything. Some areas of our life will seem shattered like U.W. said but then how do we rebuild when it seems impossible? Yeah, that happened almost 10 years ago when Warrior returned to “parts unknown” as we all~~~ especially his family had to pick up their pieces and begin a brand new puzzle which they have. 🥹
When you try and assemble all that is yours, examine each piece carefully. It will have roughness, smoothness, and everything in between. Don’t keep the pieces that fit just because you want so desperately to hold onto them. Don’t cram it in its spot because you can’t figure out any other way. Despite this analogy, people and not things will always be with us. They are in our memories and hearts but just don’t let that consume or overtake you. It just changes form like we all will someday. You may not be in someone’s puzzle the way you’d like to anymore, but evolving is how it needs to be. The more we resist, the harder it persists.
We need time to reassemble and begin again as challenging as it may seem. Look to the good warriors as creating anew is what life is all about. Bring that *PEACE* into the pieces of your life’s puzzle. Go at your own pace but keep moving on it every day. That missing piece may never be found or it may be temporary. Keep rolling along like the missing piece in the book continued doing. If you have that piece, open up for others to fit too. There is room in that puzzle. If you fit with another, keep that piece close. If not, roll along… 🌊🤔🤷🏻♀️
P.S. Warrior is a very important piece of my puzzle which always fits. ☺️💙
