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?

Our circumstances can sweep us away. We have to be focused on-- and grounded in-- our intrinsic intuition and the here, now and what is being called for moment-to-moment in each situation as it arises.
The focus and ground of our life has to be on our intuition and what is called for right here, right now.
What we want, where we want to be, and what is going to happen tomorrow and what are we going to do then, etc. cannot enter the picture.
Everything else has to wait for us to consult our intuition and determine the best response to make to what is called for right here, right now.
That is the procedure for dealing with every here, now that comes along for the rest of time.
What is called for right here, right now? Do that. And then we will deal with what's after 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.
