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.
Missing peices is incredible
