Perfect fit

It’s less often that we’re sure of a perfect fit.

When we’re putting together a jigsaw puzzle, usually — as we hold a piece — we only have a guess about where it will fit. Even as we place it.

“Hmm. Let’s try it here.”

If we waited until we were one hundred percent certain of the fit, we’d rarely place a piece.

It’s this way with so many things. We don’t really know exactly when things will fit. We make reasonable calculations, but it’s hard to be certain.

And then when pieces do fit, we’re often surprised by where things align and by the new patterns that are formed.

But waiting for certainty and perfection? That’s an awfully difficult way to put things together.
