This reminds me of a snippet from Buckminster Fuller's "Critical Path". He's talking about specialists and generalists and how we rarely see the big picture of what's important. "Nobody is born a specialist. Every child is born with comprehensive interests, asking the most comprehensively logical and relevant questions. Pointing to the logs burning in the fireplace, one child asked me, "What is fire?" I answered, "Fire is the Sun unwinding from the tree's log. The Earth revolves and the trees revolve as the radiation from the Sun's flame reaches the revolving planet Earth. By photosynthesis the green buds and leaves of the tree convert that Sun radiation into hydrocarbon molecules, which form into the bio-cells of the green, outer, cambium layer of the tree." http://www.maebrussell.com/Critical%20Path/Critical%20Path%20excerpts%201.html http://www.maebrussell.com/Critical%20Path/Critical%20Path%2...
