As to the question of
why I am here:
I am here for this moment,
here for this healing,
here for the cup of
whatever fills my day

The puzzle piece I am
is not improved
by trying to make it more
like other pieces
that have already fit in.
The puzzle piece you are,
likewise, will not be helped
by alteration

It is not mine
to choose another cup
but to drink this one
and be satisfied.
