About

“The influence of a vital person vitalizes, there’s no doubt about it. The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top, and so forth. No! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive! The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.”

-Joseph Campbell

The phrase “3rd Wheel” is often used as an unwanted guest. But what if the “3rd” was an agent of change and growth and was the combination and complementation in a pair of opposites. The “3rd” can help create new perspectives and attitudes. The “3rd” creates and sustains spirit.

On a tricycle, it’s the 3rd wheel that keeps the kid from tipping. In rhythmic music and dance, it’s the tri-pl-et pattern that teaches balance and coordination. In a tripod, it’s the 3rd leg that gives it stability. In a plug, it’s the 3rd prong that grounds the cord. In the world, it’s the 3rd Wheel dot Org that gives service, support, and love through music, other creative mediums, or just through lending a hand.
