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?

The right way to do things is death to the spirit across time and place.
Dharma is doing what is expected of us exactly as it has always been done through the ages.
Insisting on "exactly" evolved into the caste system of modern India, and the goosestepping "Heil Hitler" of Nazi Germany.
Those were the ways to do it that stifled life wherever they took root.
Sitting and not thinking because thinking is "monkey mind," and destroys Pure Mind and Pure Consciousness and we must do it right if we hope to attain enlightenment and satori.
And all the people shouted, "Amen! We Must Do It Right-- as it has been done before us throughout the ages-- and before time began!"
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.
