Yet, we realize that again and again our attention is drawn to the ways in which human individuals and groups fail to love. We perceive the other as profoundly different often seeing them as inferior or inimical to ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do we learn to love across difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e Is it possible? Does crossing the boundary of difference dissolve our identity or uniqueness? How do we live in a world where crossing boundaries and encountering difference is a daily practice? Is love across difference a supposition or an imperative? In all its iterations, we intend the phrase as an evocative expression and invitation.

We need to learn to love and care about the well-being of distant peoples, who look and behave differently, speaking unfamiliar languages. And we need to care for members of other species, the changing oceans and atmosphere, wounded and dying forests, the many different life forms of our planet. All are kin. All are vulnerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the past, mystics of many traditions have sought unity, \u003cstrong\u003ea unity that is not uniformity, \u003c\/strong\u003e using different metaphors to describe their profound intuitions of oneness. We are followers of their lead.
