in what concrete ways can 'living together in unity' be practiced in our diverse, often polarized world?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Psalm 133:1

“See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!”

This short psalm, a 'Song of Ascents,' likely sung by pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem for festivals, celebrates the joy and blessing found when people, traditionally understood as fellow Israelites, dwell together in harmony. It uses vivid imagery to convey the preciousness and abundance of such unity.

What small, concrete step could I take this week to foster a greater sense of unity in one of my communities, despite our differences?
