[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 650047, member: 18284"] Cedar --- I just love "conversating" with you! You are insightful and just wonderful to share your insights in just the way you do! You have a gift with words! LucyJ --- Thanks for sharing your experience and perceptions. The analogy to a jigsaw puzzle is just terrific. True, true, true that. Sometimes it's easy for me to see what I perceive to be our son's missing pieces of jigsaw puzzle. But I'd bet I'd be surprised to hear his FULL, UNEDITED version of events. I may not be aware of all sorts of "pieces" in his self-created jigsaw puzzle. Interesting that you got to see your son's in such detail. More helpful or more surprising? And, you know, on the flip side, makes me wonder how many people might be surprised if I publicly pieced my own self-created jigsaw puzzle in front of them (like, say, the reporter did with your son). I wonder how many of us are aware of how we're perceived......or not? For example, I'm always surprised how many of my co-workers have told me they're surprised to see me cry. That shocks me, because I cry often -- in sadness, sure. But also in joy, in beauty, in poetry, in Soul's Eye moments. My eyes are leaky. But I guess our circumstances (like workplace, etc) sometimes conceal what we think are obvious sides of us. Not so. LucyJ -- Thanks for this bit.......think I'll be contemplating it all day now. Good stuff! [/QUOTE]
