We can orient ourselves
in the service of what needs to be done
here/now
by attending our breathing,
and finding the place
of emptiness between breaths
and continuing to breathe
while waiting in the emptiness
for a felt (in our body)sense
of what is being called for
and moving in that direction
trusting our original nature
and our innate virtuosities
to respond naturally/spontaneously
to the situation as it is developing
around us.

Practice doing this in the safety
of your own bedroom
(maybe when it comes to what to wear)
until you become comfortable
with the process and how it feels
to be listening/feeling the leanings,
or impulses,
within toward something
and away from something else.

With this exercise,
you will be learning to be aware of
and to trust your Right Brain
and to listen to/feel its guidance
in your body.

And watch a new world opening up.

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.
