Water and flour

In our times, people speak often of balancing things in their lives. This is perhaps an outgrowth of ancient Greek thinking in dichotomies. There is also the more expansive view of a whole, a completing, a ball. Today I saw also a baking image: we do not balance water and flour, but combine them into one thing. Beyond that, it is not only flour and water, but salt, sugar, egg, kneading, and leaven that makes it into the whole.

Now deeper in: it is making these into something they were not before as separate items: something tasty, attractive, filling, nourishing, the beginnings of body and language and symphonies!
