Alan Watts said 
being completely engaged
in what you are doing
here/now
is the real secret of life.

And what is the secret
to being completely engaged
in what we are doing here/now?

Give our heart the reins!

How often do we do that?
For how long?

How long has it been
since we let our heart
have the day?

If we were going to let our heart
have tomorrow, say,
what do you think our heart would do?

Ask your heart
and listen for what your heart
has to say.

Your heart will like that
almost as much as doing it.

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.
