thanks, shel...

Having to do a little heart-and-soul-searching has resulted in me realizing once again the significance of the story "The Missing Piece" by Shel Silverstein.

I love going back to this little story every once in awhile because it's such a simple allegory for the paradox of having relationships with other people, whether friendly, romantic, family, or otherwise: obviously it is not always a perfect fit, and even if it is, that means trading one thing for another.

From here on out, I'll let Shel speak for himself.

Until later,
Lis
