The Center

Suppose we hear an unknown man spoken of by many men.

Suppose we were puzzled to hear that some men said he was too

tall and some too short; some objected to his fatness, some

lamented his leanness; some thought him too dark, and some too

fair. One explanation … would be that he might be an odd shape.

But there is another explanation. He might be the right shape….

Perhaps (in short) this extraordinary thing is really the ordinary

thing; at least the normal thing, the centre.
