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?

Doing the right thing at the right time in the right place and the right way is getting out of the way and allowing our intrinsic intuition take the lead.
One way to do this is to simply sit in the emptiness, stillness and silence, waiting for the mud to settle and the water to clear and seeing what arises to call us to action on the field of action, and to follow our calling from one thing to the next.
This is to live without profit motive or agenda, but simply being open to the moment with a gentle, noble, heart, fealty, liege loyalty and filial devotion to the work at hand, and seeing where it goes.
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.
