Dear EH:
Excellent question and not easy to answer. After T/R you fully realize the general shallowness of most human relationships. When you realize there is only ''One'' they who is relating to whom. Having said that you can come back to this human dream and play out any kind of relationship you want, you can care for anyone, but it's a very different kind of caring. No clinging, no wanting and actually not caring about what happens in the next moment. Very freeing and very H/A.
Love ya, Jed
