Puzzles

Puzzles. I've always enjoyed trying to piece things together. Knowledge, relationships, projects and events. I don't always get it right, but the process is usually similar. Lately I've been trying to stand back and map out my method of madness and I keep coming back to the simplest method I know...putting together a puzzle. I typically begin with the outline of the puzzle, specifically the four corners. Once I work my way past the outside, I work myself in until I reach the center of the puzzle. Only then can I see what I need to see. Seems like a good way to cultivate a friendship. One more puzzling word of note...when you get to the center...stand back and take a good look at the big picture.
