Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?

Stillness and silence invite emptiness-- invite us to empty ourselves of the clutter, complexity and noise that make stillness and silence impossible-- and provide the atmosphere necessary for rumination and reflection, listening and looking, inquiry and investigation which lead to new realizations, and open the way to transformation and redirection. Everything hinges on regular returns to stillness and silence sprinkled throughout the day. Every day.
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters and five granddaughters within about twenty minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
