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?

Aligning ourselves with our original nature, innate virtues (The things we do best and enjoy doing most), and our intrinsic intuition, puts us at "the sweet spot" of our life, on the beam, at one with our destiny, and in accord with the Tao of life and being.
You would think, that with all that going for it, more people would be faithfully engaged in centering themselves with themselves, and living with the plumb line of their personal integrity always in mind, being true to who they are in each situation as it arises all their life long.
It is an eternal puzzle that we are not.
Just sit down, shut up, and focus on what rings true.
Get up and do what needs to be done, when/where/how it needs to be done.
Repeat this process/practice throughout the time left for living.
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.
