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 enter the silence empty of emotion/agenda/expectation... and wait for what will emerge/appear/arise of its own accord for us to work with in making associations and connections and following where it leads to realization/recognition/understanding-- the farther shore of reflection.
Propelling us onto the field of action to will and to do according to the flow of our understanding of what is called for and asked of us in the time and place of our epiphany.
The quest and the deed, back and forth, throughout the time left for living the adventure of being alive.
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.
