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?
We are living to align ourselves with our life-- to express, exhibit, display, incarnate, serve, who we are and what we are about though the things we say, and do, and stand for, while living in ways appropriate to the occasion in each situation as it arises!
Integrity! Spontaneity! Sincerity! Vitality! Authenticity! Congruity! Balance and harmony!
We do this by being best friends with our intrinsic intuition, our original nature and our innate virtues (The things we do best and enjoy/love doing most)-- and by spending time regularly and reliably with emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three!), and allowing our life to flow from our association with all these things.
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.
