"Synergy is the creation of a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts." - Organizational Behaviour (2008)
Hope takes breath when kindred tempers
cast off qualms and hubris
to unite in harmonic synergy -
pledging always more and never less
than each could dream alone.
Lewis and Clark together
eclipsed the gifts of either man.
Marie and Pierre Curie were
married to science and life
as they were to one another.
As dynamic as two conjoined streams,
driving toward the distant sea,
minds in concord free the channel clogs
that masquerade reality.
But what of us, cast adrift
in this inscrutable world?
It all comes down to
who we are together
and how we fasten life to truth.
