I tend to agree with almost all you write, but to this post I agree the mostest. Long live "forging connections across a point of contrast," and long live the notion that contrast does not necessarily imply conflict. The epoxy resin metaphor is beautiful.

Hard not to corroborate with one of Sister Audre Lorde's most oft-cited pearls of wisdom: "It is not our difference that divides us.
