being a conscious single requires embracing a psychic paradox of sorts, it seems. one, is that being single with the intention of meeting someone can be difficult and needs to be approached with the perseverance of any major life goal. however, there also needs to be joy in the present state of singleness and an excitement about what is coming. the idea is to have grace for yourself and your situation. alan cohen calls this being happy and hungry.

the task before us all has to do with finding the right stance to this hunger in life. not too forward and attached and not too withdrawn and careless. this looks like grace.

being and becoming graceful is the hallmark of being and becoming conscious--this applies to being a conscious single as well. might as well use what's smack in front of you to practice grace.

p.s.  i am going to add couple of posts from the archives. 

So this thread is about sharing your experience, strength and hope about how you are brave.  About how you are about being vulnerable and waiting to be asked or being vulnerable and asking. 

There are all kinds of ways to look at this and be with this.  The articles and support sections hopefully will help.  And yet there is likely no better help than hearing and sharing.  So please…

p.s.  this is a brand new start on these discussion boards.  Go to the Forum Archives Page for a sample of some of the wonderful old posts from long, long ago.
