Road to the Lighthouse — Hunting Island State Park, Beaufort County, South Carolina
Enlightenment/Intuition/Awareness 
is in-tune-ment,
alignment,
with the way of being in the world
that is grounded in/founded upon
emptiness, stillness, silence
and the knowing that comes
with seeing/hearing/understanding
what is important
in each situation as it arises,
perceives what is happening
and what is called for in response,
and rises to meet the occasion
out of the gifts of our original nature
and the innate virtuosities--
what we do best and love/enjoy doing most--
that come with us from the womb.

It is free from the burden
of fear/desire/duty/noise/complexity,drama/trauma
and free to do whatever needs to be done,
when/where/how it needs to be done
in each here/now that comes along,
no matter what,
with nothing to gain or lose in so doing.

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 and five granddaughters within about twenty minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
