Our view of the world is unique.  It is much like observing our surroundings through a single rain drop sitting on a window.  What we see is magnified and at the same time limited by the refractory properties of our lens.  It is easy to forget that we are not the only rain drop and we both amplify and restrict that which comes within our sight.  Therefore we must listen to the stories of others in order to more fully comprehend the world around us.  What we see is not all that exists.  What we see and fail to share is lost to those who are seeking to connect remarkable perspectives.
