I really like the analogy of a healthy organ as part of a healthy body..."A good solution acts within the larger pattern the way a healthy organ acts within the body. But it must at once be understood that a healthy organ does not – as the mechanistic or industrial mind would like to say – “give” health to the body, is not exploited for the body’s health, but is a part of its health. The health of organ and organism is the same, just as the health of organism and ecosystem is the same. And these structures of organ, organism, and ecosystem – as John Todd has so ably understood – belong to a series of analogical integrities that begins with the organelle and ends with the biosphere." I think this is so relevant to agriculture and so relevant to other systems as well! I hope you all had fun at the farm--I wish I could have been there. I'll have to visit it soon with Bob!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706392728911407609noreply@blogger.com
