whether I'd have my own space to start a puzzle
when I went up for the first time
I found that it was only one table enough for one puzzle
and someone already started the puzzle with a few sections of the boats
and as usual, I started with the edges
but I couldn't find a couple of pieces and had to leave for a mealtime
when I went back on Wednesday
someone or some people found the pieces I couldn't find
put together all the edges as well as some pieces for the water section
I was delighted that I have some unknown partners
every day after breakfast
I went up and was pleasantly surprised that more parts were completed
especially if I see the parts I was struggling with were matched
And yesterday I completed the puzzle
This is the first time I ever worked with others to complete a puzzle
and I will never find out who they were
but I have to say
it was pure joy,
like an unexpected gift,
loved the experience,
and I hoped it was the same for my hidden partners.
It made me reflect
how many tasks in my life were completed by someone else
without me knowing who they are and what they have gone through
there are so many
for their generous and gracious gifts and contributions to my life
I deeply bow to my hidden partners
