“Life is a mystery.“

How mysterious depends on how much of it we want and are willing to explore. It’s like trying to solve a giant jigsaw puzzle without knowing the picture. However, it’s more complicated because we have to find the pieces, there are no edge pieces, there are no similar pieces to group, and the pieces may not fit.

Aha! Works is about discovering the pieces, through our “Aha! moments”, and fitting them together to form a clearer picture of life. What we think as the center of our lives shift with each “Aha!”; the boundaries we hardly knew existed persistently poke its way in to replace the center; and nature’s clarity begins to breathe its life into us.

The pieces are around and inside us, but it’s hidden and disguised. We must ask the right questions, be quiet to hear the response and persist to understand the answer. That is why life is a mystery. Nothing is handed to us without a price.

My name is Wynn Tran, and I want to share this exploration with you. Hopefully, each of us will recognize it’s significance before our journey ends.
