In Search of Meaning (15): ‘The Missing Piece’

Some of you know Shel Silverstein already.

The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein

If you haven’t read this since you were a little kid, it’s worth re-reading.

It’s about this shape that goes around looking for its “missing piece.”

Reading it again after so many years changes how the story feels. Life experience brings new awareness.

Today, I see a powerful message in this book: When you don’t feel the lack of something, you can’t desire it. And that’s when you can finally feel whole.

Similar to a lot of Hindu philosophies I learned through osmosis in India.
