The individual is the hope of the world.

As an individual,
the most important thing I can do
is convince you of your own significance.

And encourage you to develop
your relationship with yourself,
particularly learning to recognize
your original nature
and your inherent virtuousities
(The things you do best
and enjoy/love doing most),
while honoring and following
the guidance of
your intuition,
your body's felt sense,
and your nighttime dreams.

While de-emphasizing personal gain,
success, recognition and advancement
as goals worthy of you.

I lost you with that, didn't I.

You have what it takes to save the world
and you want to be wealthy.

What does, "Thy will not mine be done,"
with the "thy" being your own intuition,
your body's felt sense,
and your nighttime dreams,
mean to you?

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.
