We look for the right numbers that will lead to
summations to our life’s endeavors. As Aristotle said though, “The whole is
more than the sum of the parts.” Life is more like a quilt or picture, not a
summation. We plan how to get from A to B. Only to have those plans change when
we get on the road. We read more into letters than there is. We hold our plans
up to the universe and become overwhelmed with the complexity of all that is
and has come before. We carefully measure things only to find where we went
wrong after a disaster. We place great faith in final formulas. Still the
summations we draw pull us ahead to new horizons. Horizons that will change
the careful numbers that we thought were the whole of our lives.
