I am for throwing out theology,
doctrine, dharma, dogma, creeds, beliefs
and opinions--
and devoting ourselves,
routinely and regularly,
to emptiness/stillness/silence,
opening ourselves to our intrinsic intuition,
our original nature,
and our innate virtues--
the things we do best
and enjoy/love doing most.

And seeing where it goes over time.

You will not find a better,
or more timely,
suggestion in the entire world of ideas
and talktalktalk.

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.
