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?

Being open to,
aware of,
engaged with
what is called for
in each situation as it arises,
positions us
to be free of opinions,
motives,
expectations,
desires,
will,
plans,
agendas
beyond the simple service
of what needs to happen here/now
in light of the circumstances
that form and shape the moment,
letting that carry us into the next moment,
and all the moments that follow.
It is also drama-free.
I cannot imagine why
it has not caught on by now.
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.
