Yellow, Rocks 2014 — Buttermilk Falls, Long Lake, New York
The yellow color is a reflection of yellow foliage above the water and rocks.
Fold it all in.
Incubate it.
Reflect on it.
Allow it to work its magic within,
transforming us into those
who care without caring,
and do without doing,
and accomplish without striving,
living in the service
of what is called for
without ambition,
intention,
expectation or opinion.

Just seeing,
hearing,
knowing,
understanding,
responding
to what is needed
in each situation as it arises
out of our original nature,
innate virtues
(What we do best and enjoy doing most),
and intrinsic intuition,
for the joy of doing it,
and the satisfaction of doing it,
like chips off the old block,
like the Buddha and the Christ,
spontaneously,
sincerely,
appropriately,
time after time,
all our life long.

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.
