People we can bump
Loving and learning a particular neighbor, rather than humankind or a nation or a congregation: because it is the only way we live in our life as it is lived, with the people we can bump. If we cannot be touched by them, they do not exist for us. If we do not love this one with these ways of pointing or speaking or holding the head, we cannot ever recognize and differentiate and learn ourselves. Love is a betweening. Love is done between. Learning is done in distance: we compare, we make metaphors, we differentiate. When we do, love is possible.
