“Crosswords are like (a) form of meditation, something you do when you’re alone. You’re trying to recall everything you’ve
learned, being flexible enough to fit your accumulated knowledge into the right
amount of squares. That’s what I love
about puzzles. They can alter us, stretch
our thinking, expand our awareness, push us to become something more.”
John prepared this quote years ago for when someone asked him about
puzzles. He thought it was an impressive
line and had been waiting for the right time to use it. Looking up at Rosa, he thought it worked.
“I
think people just like to fill in boxes,” Rosa said.
