Shel Silverstein was an American poet, singer, songwriter, musician, composer, cartoonist, screenwriter and author of children's books. This Christmas I got one of his books as a present from a friend of mine.
The book sketches the journey of a character becoming a "whole" person...independently being able to "roll" by itself in life. Through the pages and the simplistic sketches, one can find different meanings, but surely the core one is that in order to be happy in any relationship you must be your own independently happy person...and not rely on others to complete your deficiencies.
It only takes ten minutes to read the book, and when I first read it, I was so overwhelmed by this strangely moving epic tale of geometrical shapes, masqueraded as a children's story. Then I started doing something I have never done with another book: buying it and giving it to those I love, continuing what Dafni did…
The reactions were similar, and the story goes on, every person finds his/her meaning in the book, and instantly needs to share it with someone..
