within a box except the sizes are reversed-- no lineage of large-to-small-- each unfolds to house the first. are keys to locks laws of physics are transversed-- beyond the instant world of "here" into the realm where thoughts are curse. of paradox that shrinks to hide the universe. Like nomads crossing desert sand pursuing quench of thirst. |

  (sigh) Life can indeed be a big puzzle to solve sometimes, maybe there will come a tie where He can tell us the essence of Life and we can all discover it and specify harmony for all! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderfully thought-provoking! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sahring!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

It is the box of paradox Isn't it the truth? Lots of ways to interpret this. Amazing what we women hold on to, and what becomes our treasures. Even the boxes within the box are a treasure in themselves. |

I enjoy a good paradox, Where approaching makes in harder to see, Like using a key on a latch less box, Or going where there’s nowhere to be, Enjoyed. Gloom |

Karen, I took this one at face value as my hubby collects puzzle boxes, and I admire his calm in trying to open them...as I read this I was looking at a couple here on the desk, with the keys hidden inside. Good idea for a write...but then I have to make it hard on myself and not even think of going for the obvious! LOL. Great write! ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Love, like magic, depends on believing.~ |

been enjoying your puzzles very much lately Karen There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

This is an intriguing poem, Karen...It really made me think...and wonder, what else could be in that box?  I loved the original thoughts here! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
