Noise, complexity, trauma, drama,
keep things stirred up
and produce the heaving waves
and clashing rocks
on the wine-dark sea.

Emptiness, stillness, silence
reduce complication
and increase clarity and simplicity.

What is the status of your balance and harmony?
What are the forces of destabilization
at work in your life?

Where to you go for peace, calm, serenity, tranquility?

How intentional and deliberate are you
about managing the stability quotient in your life?

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.
