**Carolina Wren 03/02/2023 Oil Paint Rendered — Scenes From My Backyard, Charlotte, North Carolina**

Live like it matters,
and let it go.

We hold on too long.
Won't let anything go.
Go into swoons.
Sink into sorrow.

We have to let it go.
Let it go.
The next thing is coming,
and already here.

We have to be ready
to live like it matters,
and let it go.

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.
