Shel Silverstein is da bomb
It was missing a piece.
And it was not happy.
So it set off in search
of its missing piece.
And as it rolled
it sang this song-
Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
I'm lookin' for my missin' pieceHi-dee-ho, here I go,
Lookin' for my missin' piece.
Bluekessa pointed this book to me some time back while we searching the shelves for some books I missed out on during the Bookfair. We browsed through the whole book. Simple drawings, simple words. Pero naman! Puwede na siyang feminist treatise ek. Tama si Shel Silverstein: Why do we spend our whole lives looking for The One who will make us whole, when we should be complete in ourselves.
Also reminds me of that myth from one of them Greek dudes. You know, the Androgyne that Zeus hit with a thunderbolt then the Androgyne split into two. From thereon, each of the halves were forever searching for their so-called perfect half.
Medyo sad kasi there really was No One. But yeah, here I go, here I go.
