The circle of understanding...

"To understand the whole, it is necessary to understand the parts. To understand the parts, it is necessary to understand the whole. Such is the circle of understanding. We move from whole to part and back again, and in that dance of comprehension, in that amazing circle of understanding, we come alive to meaning, to value, and to vision: the very circle of understanding guides our way, weaving the pieces, healing the fractures, mending the torn and tortured fragments, lighting the way ahead--this extraordinary movement from part to whole and back again, with healing the hallmark of each and every step, and grace the tender reward."

Ken Wilber, The Eye of the Spirit.

This is one of my favorites. Could anyone say it more beautifully?

Go here to read the thought that prompted me to post this.
