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?
Flat Branch Watershed 02 — Charlotte, North Carolina, 06/24/2024
The Flow seems to consist of sitting in the right kind of silence waiting to rise and enter the field of action to do what needs to be done there, when, where and how it needs to be done, then dropping back into the right kind of silence, waiting to rise and enter the field of action... round after round.
Anything that disrupts the flow is folded into the flow by responding to it in ways appropriate to the occasion, which means doing what needs to be done about it, when, where and how it needs to be done, and dropping back into the right kind of silence, waiting to rise and enter the field of action...
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.
