Goshen Creek 11/04/2019 — Blue Ridge Parkway, Boone, North Carolina
My intuition seems to be a   
spontaneous response to my
life-situation
that is reliably "there"
without me thinking it into action.

Before my intuition,
I am like the Moved
in response to the Mover.

And I'm wondering if perhaps
we projected God onto our intuition
in the long ago and far away
when we didn't have much more
than our intuition coming
between us and a savage world
outside the cave.

The powers of our intuition
could easily be interpreted
as the intervention of God.

And, like that, we develop
doctrine and dogma and beliefs
and heaven and hell and here we are.

And it is all intuition and imagination.

That has an intuitive feel to it for me.

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.
