Puzzling

    My wife’s a great puzzler; my mother too. I enjoy puzzling, but my jigsaws are lexicographic. I puzzle with language and ideas. I turn words over in my mind the way that others rotate jigsaw pieces in their hand. Does this word fit snugly into the narrative I am weaving, or is it unshapely? Does this idea add coherently to the mosaic I am building, or is it distracting? I expect you also puzzle. It is intensely satisfying to sift through our box of life experiences, looking for pieces that fit, that join together to form a beautiful whole.
