Daily Quote, Wednesday June 24, 2009

Good morning everyone,

Apparently the weather is due for at least a minor change soon!

The quote seems to be getting shorter and shorter this week. Is forgetting the ground of relationship? And by turn, is remembering the other the thing that makes relationship impossible? How many times have you heard or said, I'll never forget the first time I saw you? Isn't that the end of the relationship right there, at the beginning? What would it be like if we said instead, I can never recall anything about you? You don't know me and I don't know you? Conventionly that would end most relationships because we look for ground that's permanent, to be with the other has for some reason to involve knowing them and from this possessing the other. What are we afraid of?

Relationship is the most difficult thing in life.

It needs great intelligence for a man and woman to be forgotten, to live together, not surrender to each other or be dominated by one or the other. Relationship is the most difficult thing in life.

  1. Hi Robert,
    It's great to hear about your interest and activities in Halifax.
    I wonder if you and others in the group are aware of the Swanwick Centre in Victoria , including the dialogue retreats there this summer? (see www.krishnamurti-canada.ca)
    Also, have you considered adding your name to the new www.kinfonet.org list for K friends in Canada?
    Best regards, Ralph Tiller
