Therefore, Vision exhibits how one story is made up of an infinite number of stories that can be told both orally and written and through a variety addresses. MacLeod begins this story by attributing the power of deep listening when he explains, “I don’t remember when I first…

For some reason, I found I was much more comfortable being in the group that tried to welcome the others than I was actually being part of “the others.” When I thought back on this, I think this really says something about society as a whole.…
