Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
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?
Being true to our inherent intuition
Is laying aside our wants/desires/pleasures/dreams
in the service of our intuition's ideas
of what is called for
in each situation as it arises.
The guiding question is never,
"What do we want?"
And is always,
"What is called for here, now?"
Knowing what is called for
and living to do it
when/where/how it needs to be done
time after time
is the sine qua non of a life well-lived.
No one can do better than that.
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.
