More than the sum total
/ a view on "gestalt"
We are more than the sum total of our parts.
More than our bodies.
More than our brains.
More than this present life.
More than the past.
More than the future.
We are more than the sum total of out parts,
this is what ‘spirit’ is.
Yet even having said this;
the greater we understand the magnificent of our parts,
the more ‘than this’ we will know our self to be.
