"Each one on their own is not perfect: one is ancient, worn, rusty. Another is shiny, new, sharp, a star—but lacking. Only together, when we help one another, with all our strengths and weaknesses, do we create the perfect machine."

Since the rhythm of the "individual's" movement drives incredible processes in the "collective"—it is precisely the weak spots of one that can activate the strengths of another. When we observe reality through a lens of faith, we can take responsibility for our unique part in the great 'machine' of life.
