East of Eden - The Difference Between Doing and Making

During my research into Autopoiesis, I came across praxis and poiesis from Aristotle. Steinbeck's quote captures the relationship between the two in a beautiful way.

"In their millions, the frog songs seemed to have a beat and a cadence, and perhaps it is the ears' function to do this just as it is the eyes' business to make stars twinkle."

― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
