PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There I was in a hot Sunday afternoon in my grandparent’s house. In the office of my grandfather, sitting next to him, finding what to do. Suddenly he opens his third drawer at his right and I move away, so it could open all the way until the end. What was what I see? A cube indeed, but I didn’t new nothing about it until that day. A Rubik he says, amazed I stare at it, and each color in the same side you need place, he says. He places it on my hands, and turning and moving it sides I get more curious about it. My grandfather tells me to mix all of the colors, I do that, and after that a surprise I get and laughing he tells me to complete it just the way it was, with a different color in each side. He places a doubt in my head of how to place them in the correct way. Next week I arrive with him to learn to solve the Rubik. He shows me to complete the first part, but I really didn’t understand how to do it. So during the next weeks I practice my self to solve one side. When I show him that I could do the first part he show me “the instructive.” The one he made with my grandmother when they were younger. These two-pieces of small paper that contain a detailed way of finishing the Rubik cube, in a detail way that later he explain to me. All the times I was there, it was to practice with one of the many he had in the drawer. Practicing and constancy was the answer he gave me, every time I desperate of doing something incorrectly. He was glad of explaining me understand that instruction he did, and great time we have been doing it. Until one day I finally complete it, and later I did it without the instructive on my side. At that moment my grandfather told me, that to not forget I needed to do it constantly during the week, so that way I could learn how to solve it when different ways get in my way. I get use to it and complete the Rubik cube, not so fast, but I did it. My grandfather was proud of it, he gave a Rubik personalize for me. Which he place harder pieces in the little squares and in the middle of the green square my name, so I could keep it with me as a memory of the time I spend with him.
