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?

Knowing the difference between Stop - Go, Yes - No is important knowing.
Managing dualities correctly, not incorrectly makes all the difference.
And dispensing with duality in a cavalier, "Enough of that, it's only appearances" kind of way leaves us in Limboland, not sure if we are here or there, or somewhere in-between-- neither here nor there, both here and there.
What's for lunch? Where is the checkbook and the car keys?
Those who know and those who don't know unite in becoming everyone.
For what that's worth.
I'm waiting to see what difference it makes.
What matters most? Who says so? In light of what do we live? What guides our choosing? What do we stand to gain? What do we stand to lose? Where are we better off? What are the trade-offs? The compromises? What determines when we do what and where we draw the line? Do we think our way forward, or wait to know?
"Those who know don't say. Those who say don't know."
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.
