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?
What do we spend our time thinking about?
What preoccupies us?
Absorbs us?
Consumes us?
What do we dwell on?
What can we not stop thinking about?
Think about that.
Meditate on that.
Explore that.
Turn that over and over.
Reflect on that.
Ask all of the questions
you can imagine about that.
Then interview that.
Ask questions of that.
How did that become the most important
thing in your life?
Pursue that without pause.
See how many new realizations
you can come up with about that.

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.

Thank you for this brilliant recipe for questioning self awareness. The thinking process is deeper than one thinks.

Thinking will lead us to “pure consciousness,” that is to “intuition,” if we follow it out to its “logical conclusion”! Thinking will recognize that it has reached the end of its possibilities and “surrender” to intuition! Intuition is “enlightenment.”
