This was a look at Fear of the Other. Connect with each other. Quite a bit of reference back to the music we sang this day. The reprise I used was a little play off an acronym of FEAR -- Face Everything and Rise with some words from Dr. King on moving from fear to knowing and meeting.
Question is "how often do we let our fear of the stranger drive us to not connect."
Some continuation of the previous week's theme of connectedness, but here the connectedness is getting past the dikes that hold us in our own flood of fear of the other. Dikes of courage (among other things) are needed (a quote i thought about using, but didn't.)
I am currently listening to Isaac Asimov Robots of Dawn and wonder how much of this might be helpful ... if you are not familiar with the book, do not worry. If you are, the conversation Daneel and Elijah in Chapter 2 is what I am thinking. Elijah has to see Robots differently on Aurora than on Earth. On Earth, they are an object of scorn and subservience. On Aurora (a fictitious planet) they are near equals, if not precisely equals. Elijah has to be taught this, as it does not come naturaly to him. Yes?
