Jigsaw
I found myself one day as a piece of a jigsaw puzzle. I was one piece among numerous others, each of us unique in our combination of shape and colors. Each of us looked for its place in the puzzle; that we each had a place in the puzzle we somehow knew instinctively. When we found our place we sometimes didn't know which side went into which space, and it took us a while to figure it out. But we did know, again instinctively, that there was a right side and a right space, and that one of us could be in the right place but not positioned in the right way and therefore would not fit. We also knew that all of us were essential, and it was only with all of us that the whole puzzle would be complete.
