The Nature Of The Whole: Questions For Coaches

The river is running through a lush meadow, containing yellow and orange flowers in the rich green grass closest to the viewer, oak trees are scattered around the landscape as the eye travels further back. The text reads: "This thou must always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole..." (Marcus Aurelius)
