If you wind your way through this week's music, you'll end up with a short reflection by the pianist, Tiffany Poon. It was as much what she says about empathy, as it was her performance of this nocturne on a period instrument, that led me to include the recording. Music opens us to difference, if we allow it, even as it reminds us of our common human urge to express ourselves in more than words. Even the lyrics--especially when spoken or sung--have meanings beyond what the words denote.
