We come equipped with three guides
to lead us along the way.

There is what we do best.
And what we enjoy/love doing most.
And there is our intrinsic intuition
as our ever-present help
in all times and places.

Our place is to know what we do best,
and what we enjoy/love doing most,
and to develop our relationship
with our intuition
by simply watching/listening
for what arises
in the emptiness, stillness and silence
as realization/awareness/knowledge.

In the company of the three guides,
we are ready to meet every situation
as it unfolds before us
with the confidence of those
who know we have what it takes
to do what is called for
throughout what remains
of the time left for living.

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.
