My Dreams of Loving Neighbor




Let’s learn another language. And be real with ourselves that neither time nor age are valid excuses.

Let’s allow the history of the soil we walk on to become a part of us, too. Always giving trust to the storyteller when their words contradict comfortable textbooks niceties.

Let’s study a religion other than our own. And do this without trying to find holes and without giving sighs of pity.


Let’s eliminate this word “effective” and stop counting conversions.


Let’s try it. 

Let’s see what beautiful things happen in ourselves and those around us.
