Jigsaw

The sleep of reason (war), the reptilian brain awakened. Peacetime, innocence restored; all is possible, life is trivial. Imbued with meaning or seeming meaningless; saturated with or depleted of experience. Any significance acquires in time, with second thoughts and afterthoughts, rehearsed, then executed. Tiny pieces of a jigsaw puzzle collected then assembled to perfection.
