The Wholeness of Life

Anonymous

Once a circle missed a wedge1。 The circle wanted to be whole; so it went around looking for its missing piece。 But because it was inplete, and therefore could roll only very slowly。 It admired the flowers along the way; It chatted with worms; It enjoyed the sunshine;It found lots of different pieces; but none of them fit。 So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching。 Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly。 It was so happy。 Now it could be whole; with nothing missing。 It incorporated2 the missing piece into itself and began to roll。 Now that it was a perfect circle; it could roll very fast; too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms。 When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly; it stopped; left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly again。
