Differenti-AL and Integr-AL
need to keep each other in balance
Our roles must be acted out together.
Functional parts need purposeful wholes,
wholes greater than the sum of their parts.
We need to understand HOW things work,
pulling stuff apart to see the inner detail,
But we must be also put things together
so that we can understand WHY they work.
That's where science AND religion help.
You have to learn about them both.
To see the particular & to uncover the universal
To look at the detail & to see the big picture
To be a follower & to be a leader
To take apart & to put together
To gather evidence & to draw conclusions
To sort things out & to put them away
To be part of a team & to manage it
To find a lost sheep & to care for its flock
To analyse & to synthesise
To be specific & to generalise
To be unambiguous & to be vague
To discriminate & to be inclusive
To have diversity & to promote unity
To simplify & to make more complex
To examine the dead & to observe the living
To cast the actors & to direct the play
To peer down a microscope &
to gaze through a telescope
To see the trees & to discover the wood
To have biodiversity & to create uniformity
