It\u2019s time to be reminded that love isn\u2019t the easy way out. Love isn\u2019t comfortable. But love sparks change. And that change is only possible when we set aside what we feel and know and embrace a perspective different from our own. Not just acknowledging it, but truly seeing it (the best we can).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This recording has been supported by a generous donation from The Estate of Rick Durst.
