Consider:

A puzzle piece sits on a table, disconnected from all others, stranded in solitude. It knows that it is a part of something larger, something more whole than itself.

The piece is not alone. There are others swirling around with very similar thoughts in mind, as a result, connections are attempted. Most will not first. In fact, the vast majority with not fit, by design, can’t fit, though some will look very much like they should. In some sad cases pieces will attempt to overlook their conflicting edges and press themselves together, bruising, bending, and breaking each other to align angles and curves. Pain is the result, and the whole picture, the picture outside of themselves, is compromised as well. The picture is askew.

The piece has multiple sides, ports onto which different pieces can dock. There is potential for any of those perfectly fitting pieces to find their rightful place, though (in the limited way of analogy and metaphor) only one will have a place of prominence: only one pairing will be recognized as primary. Perhaps this primary pairing is found through the careful consideration of a creative hand. Perhaps it is simply a matter of whoever gets their first. Perhaps these pieces truly have free will and their previous choices have led to their position on the table. Regardless, the primary pairing will be remarkable.
Together those piece help complete the bigger picture outside themselves. They give glory to each other, and to their complicated context. And the viewers can tell at a glance how well they fit.
