The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. It was inplete and 35 could roll only very slowly.

When it realized how 42 the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, 43 its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away. The 44 of the story, I think, is that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are 45 something. The man who has everything is 46 a poor man.

When we accept that 52 is part of human being, and when we can continue rolling 53 life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only 54 to. That, I believe, is what God asks of us— not Be perfect, not Don39。t even make a mistake, but Be whole. 35. A. finally B. otherwise C. however D. therefore 36.
