There is a rhythm and flow
to our life and to all of life.
When we cooperate with that rhythm and flow,
all is well.
When we co-opt that rhythm and flow
and try to direct it toward ends
that are pleasing to us,
it all goes to hell.

Cooperating with the rhythm and flow of life
begins with our looking to our intuition
for guidance and direction
and help with what to do now.

Our place in response to our life
is to understand that we are the moved
living in response to the mover.

Our intuition is the mover.

Aligned with our intuition
and living in accord with her wisdom
and her grace,
we are one with life,
and all is well.

May we embrace that as our work to do
and live so as to implement that in our life
through each situation as it arises
as long as life shall last.

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.
