Margaret J. Wheatley World Quotations

I've wanted to see beyond the Western, mechanical view of the world and see what else might appear when the lens was changed

This is a world of process, not a world of things.

In fact, Western culture has spent decades drawing lines and boxes around interconnected phenomena. We've chunked the world into pieces rather than explored its webby nature.

A world based on machine images is a world filled with boundaries. In a machine, every piece knows its place.

We are, always, poets, exploring possibilities of meaning in a world which is also all the time exploring possibilities.

When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.
