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?

Spend the rest of your life trusting yourself to the right kind of emptiness/stillness/silence, exploring your original nature, your innate virtues (The things you do well and enjoy/love doing most), and your intrinsic intuition.
And experimenting with living in ways that serve and exhibit/express these three aspects of yourself in responding to what is called for in each situation as it arises.
Bringing yourself forth in this way to meet your life. In so doing, you will be living your life in the deepest, truest, kind of way.
Live to be you-- in the service of being you-- in the right kind of way, here and now, for as long as life shall last.
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.
