A Gift of Dharma for 10.27.10

by Danny Fisher

Today’s quote is yet another from our friend and former Naropa University professor Dr. Reginald A. Ray, whom I previously quoted and wrote a little biography for here.  This is it — posted recently on the Dharma Ocean Foundation’s Facebook page:

A relationship based on affirming the other person’s independence and their right to be who they are fully is a relationship that’s very strong. But it is risky-is it not-because when we let go of the other we never really know what they’re going to do with that freedom, and even if for 99 years they’re with you, year 100 they might not be.
