Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
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?
Finding the way
and the will to walk it
is a matter of being present
with all that is present with us--
in other words,
being here/now
without opinion,
without fear,
without desire,
without being bound by duty,
free to see, hear, understand,
know, do, be.
Do you know anyone who is that free?
That leaves it to us
to be who/what we need to be
out of our own heart and soul.
It may take a lot of sitting
with the silence
for that to happen.

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.
