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?
We do not think up what is meaningful. We become aware of what is meaningful. Meaningful is realization. Meaningful is spontaneously recognized and done. We wake up to what is meaningful and serve it with our life. We are drawn to it, attracted by it, know it when we see it, even though we have been looking at it all our lives. Doing what is meaningful and not doing what is not meaningful makes all the difference in our life and in the world.

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.

On the same page, today’s list of meaningful: moving painting to inches to left, tipping another until it hung straight, ironing handkerchiefs and dish towels. I feel much better.

Meaningful ordinariness is the essence of seeing/doing/having it made.
