I think we do it better
with more of the right kind of
emptiness/stillness/silence,
conscious/mindful awareness
and intentional affiliation
with our intrinsic intuition.

Abandoning achievement/acquisition/accomplishment/productivity/etc.
in favor of living aligned with,
in full accord with,
our intuition,
would work wonders "right out of the box."

I am confident that the Buddha and Jesus did it this way,
as have all those who have done/are doing it
the way it needed/needs to be done throughout time.

Intuition is the way to the way,
which makes intuition the way
all the way.

Screws with our plans for ourselves
but the person/people who came up with the
story of the Garden of Eden knew that was the case
all those years ago.

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.
