Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
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?
What are we going to do
with the time left for living?
What does the way we have lived
up to now
have to do with the way we will live
going forward?
What do we want to bring with us?
What do we want to leave behind?
The questions are appropriate
for every day from here
to the end of the line--
and may there be many!
Every day represents a fresh start
and a turning, turning
from what has been
to what can be.
Sit quietly, waiting,
to see what might come to mind.
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.
