We live to see/hear/know/do.
A life grounded in,
flowing from,
returning to
emptiness, stillness and silence
has the best chance 
of seeing/hearing/knowing what's what
and doing what needs to be done about it
in each situation as it arises
no matter what
all our life long.

A life grounded in fear/greed/hatred
has no chance at all 
of seeing/hearing/knowing anything
beyond what it wants 
and doing whatever it takes
to have its way.

		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.
