Cross-time conversing
Just as Christopher Alexander gave us a timeless way of building we ought to be able to find our across-time way of conversing. Just as he discovered in buildings and towns the quality without a name, we ought to seek something like it in our conversations.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2073–Sticky doughball
Footprints in the Windsm # 2073
Now my main work is to hand you this sticky dough-ball if you will have it: let me tell you about it. It is the essence of life and humanity. It has no name. No word fits it. It changes shape with each hand. It leaves some behind. Sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet. It smells of yeast, it smells of Limburger cheese. It is mainly a question: what will you do with it? Now that you have it, what do you see, feel, taste?
Please pass it on.
