Clay is spun into a vessel; At its lip we sip the cup. Bricks are stacked into a chimney; By its hearth we warm the house. Every form that encloses Functions by opening. Agility opens the self To serve, not command, And sustain, not control The form of harmony. -- The wonderful music recorded by Guitarist Gilad Hekselman, bassist Petros Klampanis, and drummer Ziv Ravitz can be found here.

This time, we are talking about functionality, and about the form that supports it. about what happens when one is missing or doesn't match the other.

We also talk about product ownership and team awareness.

Here it is:

3. Form and Function (xi/x) 

Thirty spokes meet at a hub;
About its axis we turn the wheel.
Clay is spun into a vessel;
At its lip we sip the cup.
Bricks are stacked into a chimney;
By its hearth we warm the house. 

Every form that encloses
Functions by opening.
Agility opens the self
To serve, not command,
And sustain, not control
The form of harmony.
