Loving those who are different can be a challenge, but “we are radically interconnected” and born to love, says Rhonda Magee. The mindfulness teacher reminds us that our time on earth is finite, and during that time we must embrace our radical vulnerability, dismantle the narratives we assign to “strangers,” and choose love.

Rhonda Magee is a law professor and director of the Center for Contemplative Law and Ethics at the University of San Francisco School of Law; mindfulness teacher and prolific author who has spent more than 20 years exploring the intersections of anti-racist education, social justice and contemplative practices
