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?

We recover our balance and harmony
by sitting still
in a quiet place
and breathing normally
while focusing intently on our breathing.
Breathe in.
Say it mentally as you do.
Breathe out.
Say it.
Pause between breaths
for a count of five.
Breathe in.
Say it.
Breathe out.
Say it.
Count.
Do that for three more rounds.
That's 5 rounds.
After the fifth round,
sit quietly for a count of ten.
And get back in the game.
That's it.
Insert 5 rounds of breathing
throughout your day.
Your balance and harmony
will improve instantly.
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, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
