Everybody's life is a tapestry of relations, linkages, and weavings of people as they emerge and disappear from sight over time.  I think the Celts had the right of it in their intricate knotwork illuminations.  The quadrants in the picture attempts to show what I mean; eventually I hope to use this as the core of my homepage (what do you think?).  Click onto a quadrant, and it will take you to a page on that section's theme.
