The pieces fit together, one by one— through trial and error- curves fit into curves. Sometimes, a piece is placed that jars the rest, so time is spent redoing what was done to bring it to its former tidy state. Though, out in view to work on each new day, so many times the challenge seems too great, and so, it's often pushed away from sight. Still other times, each piece falls into place renewing eager interest in the game. And slow but sure, the shapes are interlocked, revealing, bit by bit, the total scene. And all that’s hoped before the colors fade- the vision of my total life, complete; the portrait of my finished dream- well done.

Joining the pieces of your life....I stopped and pondered about mine, wondering who'll fit in my last piece...will I manage it with my last breath!! ~ I enjoyed your buildup, Sandra...you used the same technique as in 'kaleidoscope'. Regards // paul
