Replying to LO27720 --
Leo, you wrote this definition:
> Holism is the product of its parts; holism is maximised if its parts are
> balanced.
Your observation came to me after reading a considerable breadth of
contributions to our list. As a result of your simple definition, you
engendered in me a deep warmth, because I connected strongly to the notion
of a balance of parts. For many decades of my adult life, I have believed
like some others that life at a certain level is the act of balancing
three centers of being: emotional, intellectual and physical. For me most
of the time these are not in balance. But there are moments when they are.
Such moments are sublime and almost indescribable. I leave it to Rumi's
poetry to express fluidly what such balance provokes in the whole soul.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Warm regards,
Barry
