We continue our Quest series with reflection: When we begin to broaden our experience of lands and peoples in our travel, or in our own towns and cities, our experiences of new (often uncomfortable) things sometimes activate our own resistance. Yet, if we continue to reflect and open, what feels so different may not be as far from us as we first imagined. We hold values that are shared in common across many cultural and religious diversities: peaceful coexistence, food and shelter, love and compassion for those suffering and oppressed. How can deeper reflection about our own hesitation to connect to the wider human family free us to explore more possibilities for a better world?
