On Taking Risks part III
This has been a year of taking risks, for me. I have not written about my decision to start dating again after a long break. I'm not going to blog in detail about dating... Much as I put myself out there in many ways, it feels too private. But I am writing this blog post about the RISK of dating. Because I've been thinking about it a lot lately. There is always risk involved when you decide you are willing, even in principle, to let someone into your life. There is risk of being hurt. But I think getting hurt is not the biggest tragedy that can happen. Failing to learn - that would be the tragedy.

May I ask if the decision to date again was made after meeting someone you wanted to date?
All relationships... even those that last a lifetime... end in loss. Taking a buddhist perspective, the impermanence of love suggests that we should give it our attention here and now.
at Zoom - I made the decision to be open to dating again, and shortly after met someone I wanted to date...
at Nick - I agree, thank you for the reminder :)
