At the rim, each spoke is separate. But at the cente--at our spiritual hub--we are all connected.

How many of us go through life with only a "red string," external definition of ourselves? Do we define ourselves by our careers, our clothes, our financial status or the social circles we frequent?

When our vision becomes too focused on our selves, we lose clarity.

When faced with our own challenges in our lives, we have two choices: succumb to the pain and sorrow, or rise above it--and in the process, transform our world.
