Sunrise at Sunset Beach
Jonas Salk said, "It is always with excitement 
that I wake up in the morning
wondering what my intuition
will toss up to me,
like gifts from the sea.
I work with it and rely on it.
It is my partner."

This partnership is the heart
of who we are, what we are about.

We do not direct our intuition
to fetch us this bone
or that one,
or tell it to dial up such and such a future.

We serve its ends
with our gifts,
trusting ourselves to it
to know where we are going
with this life we call "ours."
But it is "ours" in that it belongs
both to us and to our intuition.

What does our intuition have
in mind for us today?
How well will we align ourselves
with its intentions
and its grace?

May we be alert to its guidance
and quick to do its will!

And, at the end,
may we look for the signs of its presence
and evidence of our loyalty and devotion
to intuition's influence on the flow of the day
and "our" life.

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.
