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?
1) Rocks do it for me. Ground me. Center me. Restore my balance and harmony. Stabilize me. Orient me to the best way to here, now. And, once I am here, now, there is the matter of what is called for-- and doing that, when, where and how it needs to be done, puts us on a path to no telling where that may lead!
What does that for you? What serves you as a threshold to balance and harmony? To stability and a grounding orientation to here, now? Leading you moment-by-moment into the life that waits to be lived, one situation at a time!
2) Everything rides on Integrity, Sincerity, Spontaneity, Balance and Harmony, Emptiness, Stillness, Silence, Intuition, and Good Faith, (Rumi said, "If you aren't here with us in good faith, you are doing terrible damage).
Now take this list and decide for yourself how Trump and the people around him, and all those wearing MAGA hats, measure up.
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.
