Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its        piece. But because it was        and therefore could roll only very slowly, it        the flowers along the way. It        with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but        of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and        searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted       . It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll.        it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast,        fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it       , left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The        of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange        we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has        is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it        like to nourish his soul with the dream of something       . When we accept that        is part of being human and when we can continue rolling        life and appreciate it, we will have        a wholeness that others can only desire, which , I believe, is _     God asks of us — not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”,        “Be whole”.
