Life is filled with puzzles. We are perplexed by the immensity of our ignorance about how various parts of the universe or parallel-universe really work. Throughout the spectrum from ultra-tiny to massively huge, a depth of complexity challenges us to learn, to know, when it is too puzzling to ever fully comprehend.
As I complete another jigsaw puzzle, my mind and soul wander to the enigma of COVID19, and how its complexity baffles us, stymies us, overwhelms us, takes lives. How COVID19 will fit into the daily array of hazards we face as a species……infections, non-communicable diseases, mental health difficulties, drug overdoses, accidents and intended harm…….is utterly unclear. We are fully stretched in imagining our social, psychological, ethical, physical and spiritual dilemma that now shrouds us. We feel humbled, inadequate, embarrassed, and doubtful. We grieve for all of those we have lost or have lost others.
It is so complex. Part of interlocking puzzles we face.
