A Xenophilic Peace

Yesterday, I posted A PEACE of WORK: Volume 1. I do humbly encourage the read and reflect.
Today, having just received, I share this statement on Racial Unity. I offer it now for your own individual and independent exploration; with but one addition of my own.
Consider Xenophilia, the virtue.
I affectionately refer to it as the Marco Polo or Star Trek Virtue; that of the true explorer, seeking out new life and new civilizations. I humbly suggest, believe and contend that our best future is Unity, in Diversity. It is an essential "law" of nature and the Cosmos. And, of our bodies. Different parts with different purposes for one common purpose. We need it here, and now. Consider the links shared. Consider this one. Consider Xenophilia.
Give it your own Consideration. How might you ever better manifest it in practice at home, school, work, business and community? Consider the impact of "simple hospitality" on promoting racial harmony. Consider honestly examining "our own thoughts and attitudes, recognizing and confronting any hidden biases or prejudices we may have". Consider listening to people who have experienced racism with the aim of Understanding. I offer that this is not about blame or shame. It is about Accountability and the gain.
And, it is synergy, in action. A Xenophilic Peace encourages Unity in Diversity. It allows us to be who we are at our best, allowing others the same and finding our own best fits into the bigger picture at home, school, work, business and community. Let it be. And, right now. Let us turn away... from the division and turn towards something incredibly better. Let us be the voice of same. Unity matters. Let us unite... different and same. That is my enterprise. That is my engagement of conversation.
Peace...
