Charlotte's Web is a celebration of the quiet virtues. It reminds us to keep a soft tender heart, accept our true nature, and value the unique gifts of our friends. The two main characters of Charlotte's Web, Charlotte and Wilbur, highlight the awareness of our own unique inner story.

Charlotte, the spider, represents our highest self who provides wisdom and help from above. She reminds us that we are never alone. She provides a higher, bigger perspective from her vantage point high up in the rafters. She brings a calm wisdom into an anxious situation, bolstering Wilbur's self image by spelling out his best aspects. She represents our INHALE.

Become sensitive and aware of your breath.

Wilbur, the pig, represents our vulnerable self that is at the center of our awareness. Wilbur is consistently caring and engaging. He forms a bond with Charlotte because he sees her beauty. He is accepting and compassionate and joyfully celebrates life. He represents our EXHALE.

If you're grounded and you know it, are you happy?  Wait, that's not the song!  We know how it goes – sing along!  "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.  If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.  If you're happy and you know it then your face will really show it.  If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!"
