We the Choir Gather and We Learn to Sing Together

[Diana]

Group thought can permit its members to become untethered from needed openness to and analysis of available evidence, but when the vision is of something transcendently beautiful, a reality where love is made visible, where love is the way of people, and when that vision is tender and difficult to hold by oneself, then the community, the choir, is the greatest ally.

I have more thoughts on this, but...

Immediately I thought of the scene in "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" (not sure if that title is correct), by Dr Suess, when after the all-night effort of the Grinch to steal all the presents, the Whos from Whoville still got up and celebrated the day singing, as though the Grinch had stolen nothing.
