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?

Doing what is called for, being what is called for, in each situation as it arises, with no concern for what is in it for us, is being Jesus and Buddha.
That is what they did.
It is what all of us do when we know what we are doing-- doing what is called for where/when/how it is called for.
That is all there is to it.
And it comes to us as an undeniable urgency in the emptiness/stillness/silence as a gift from our intuition.
There is nothing to believe. There is only seeing/hearing/ knowing/doing/being-- what is called for.
Everybody is quite capable of doing that much. Situation by situation. 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.
