We find the way,
not by seeking what we want,
but by seeing what needs to be done
and what needs us to do it
in each situation as it arises.

Living out of the emptiness/stillness/silence
and incorporating Jon Kabat-Zinn's approach
to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
in our approach to the moment.

You can start your association with Jon Kabat-Zinn
by watching all of his YouTube videos
(The shortest ones first)
and reading his book that started it all
in the seventies,
"Wherever You Go, There You Are."

And practicing being where you are
in each situation as it arises.

That is as simple as it needs to be.

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.
