Passageways

While waterways are simply meant to connect different bodies of water, a waterway passage is defined as “an artificial channel that is constructed to convey water from one location to another”.

Water is meant to ebb and flow into any body and eventually find passages that will lead it to connect with other bodies, while maintaining its own current and resilience.

A canal is a man-made passage meant to bring you to a different waterway. It’s truly just another path to a different way of life, perhaps meant to temporarily deter you from your true self…but eventually the universe’s equilibrium will cause you to ebb back to your flow.

Tides rise and fall. They flow towards the shoreline, but always surrender to nature’s pull and wash away back to the vast sea. At any time, a tide in any body of water can go from high to low, similar to one’s emotions.

A human body is comprised of 70% water, so metaphorically we are just like any other body of water.

Like water, we have waves of emotion that surge and crash.

Like water, we ebb. Like water, we flow.

Like water, we can be whole on our own with ourselves or merge and blend with other bodies to evolve and become complete.

Like water, we churn and persistently cut through the hardest rocky times by evolving

Like water, we meander into artificial passages which steer us in different life directions.

Like water, we enable ourselves to either set sail or vessel with the wind

Like water, we believe that the canal is a real and the right way because its man-made.

Like water, anything can get white capped through narrow passageways.

Like water, we have let others construct our direction and steer our path in life.

Like water, we are empowered by nature’s energy and can go wherever the wind blows us.

Like water, we are shallow, yet cold. Like water, we are deep, yet warm.

Like water, we shift to the coast and then drift away into the sunset

Like water, we are translucent.

Like water, we have a current.

Like water, we can learn to navigate any passageway.

Like water, we can weather storms.

Like water, we wash away yesterday’s grit and grime and look forward to the clear direction ahead.

Like water, we can manifest and be blessed by fair winds and following seas.

Like water, we are connected.

Like water, our depths are often unknown.

The Well Within

Within each of us there is a well. To discover the depth of our well within, one must be brave enough to dig deep into the cold hard ground. What we will find once hitting rock bottom will be an abundance of valuable resources meant to cleanse us from the messy and mucky journey down the ominous dark hole.

The experience and wisdom acquired while delving into our nature spring keeps us curious to how deep the abyss really is. While the depth of ones soul is limitless, the path can be limiting, but if we continue to explore further we will eventually discover our true infinite self.

Your life becomes enriched the deeper you go, The natural deposits found within will fill your soul in richness beyond the barriers of the lime mortar walls. Once we find ourselves at the bottom looking up and out into the light, the trajectory of the well will have changed; it's no longer a difficult journey digging through darkness it has now become the structure of your inner kingdom that houses the light within.

The missing piece

The definition of puzzle is, "a game, problem or toy that test a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together in a logical way, in order to arrive at the correct or fun solution of the puzzle."

The hidden picture of our own jigsaw puzzle is initially depicted, to us by society as having broken puzzle pieces. However, as human beings, we truly get to be the solvers of our own puzzle. By thinking outside the box, and progressively inserting piece by piece, we get to figure out

how they all fit together to create the picture on the outside of the box.

Each mosaic is a small piece of our life that decorates the full portrait of our puzzle, mystifying us with color and beauty. As the mender of our own fragmented fractions, we need to find beauty in the broken; we must generate awareness and understanding to contemplate a solution for putting the segments back together.

Eventually, the segments will form a portrayal of our life with all the pieces interlocked and fully connected. Using our logic and sense to make the connections will determine how everything interlinks, but its up to us to do so. We get to bridge the gap between the pieces to form whatever portrait we want; this is the beauty of having mangled bits sprawled across the surface. Each new piece waiting to be seen, reflected on and banded together by the solver who has put two and two together.

Like an individual life, each jigsaw puzzle is different, at some point, we all need to put things back together again. It's our purpose in life to become whole by connecting the scattered fragments in some sort of sound, chronological order. By deciphering the best way to put together each portion, to create the picture of our life, one will eventually arrive at one's own completed statue.

In this quest, one will quickly learn that there are never really any missing puzzle pieces... they are housed within the jigsaw trunk, for one to open and discover the artistry in how they unravel to the whole canvas.
