The Wholeness of Relationship
What, in daily life, is our relationship with each other and on what is it based? Is it based on knowledge and experience that breeds emotional and or intellectual conclusions? Can it be based on memory that creates the image of you and me? Or perhaps our so-called relationship is based on mutual dependency and attachment?
What seems to be "peculiar" about our relationship to life and to each other? What is the significance of relationship as it actually is? How do we approach the fact of relationship? Are we afraid to go into the fact and face it? Do we hug the status quo through fear, or through force of habit, or are we just dull human beings?
Can we put aside our images and our fears and begin to look into this matter of relationship as a whole? Can we come together and begin to respond totally rather than partially? If indeed relationship is the whole structure of society then maybe it begins with what is our relationship now?
The very desire to be secure is destroying itself.

I came across this from the Ojai Winter dialogues 2008.
