cells in her knee

Christopher Alexander writes of how every act of creation is creating something here, locally, and also accreting to the larger whole, globally. I am perceiving that what we are doing, in conversation as in building, is enhancing the whole by acts in the parts. Not constructing the whole from discrete parts. It is the whole doing the unfolding as David Bohm tells us. Not building blocks. We cannot know the whole human from the cells in her knee. It is the whole we are working on, even if only putting a stamp on an envelope.
