The pieces of the puzzle are visible, but not the grand design. Images flicker and dance like memories, hinting at events to come. They scatter the moment I reach for them only to re-form to taunt me. I who never truly possessed them, nor may I ever. They do tell me this: a time of great change approaches and it’s not enough to watch. We must act. We can’t count on others to do our work for us or all may be lost.- Oracle Lilian’s Diary, Winter of 3765. Mara Amberly

We must act. We can’t count on others to do our work for us or all may be lost.- Oracle Lilian’s Diary, Winter of 3765 The idea of "pieces of the puzzle" is that there is a journey and we have pieces of the puzzle and we have to put those pieces together ourselves. The idea of "the grand design" is that we can't see the whole picture and we need to be able to trust our intuition and not abide by what we can't see.
