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?

Vitality,
integrity,
sincerity,
heart.
Foundational principles
for guiding our way
through life.
Original nature.
Innate virtues.
How we do
what we do best.
Aligned with the center/source,
balanced,
in harmony,
inner and outer,
yin and yang.
The way to The Way
is The Way.
Wanting more,
with eyes on other things,
distraction,
disruption,
disharmony,
destabilization.
The way to the wasteland
is always at hand.
Focus,
attention,
intention,
deliberation.
Daily tasks
for the work
of seeing/hearing,
knowing/doing/being.
Emptiness,
stillness,
silence.
Companions for the journey,
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.
