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?

It comes down to and flows from us and our intuition rising to meet each situation as it arises, here, now and moment-to-moment, day-to-day, in the world.
That is all we have and all we need to see/hear/know/do what needs to be done and be who we need to be through all that comes our way.
And we have emptiness/stillness/silence (One thing, not three) to rely upon and return to in order to refuel, refresh and redirect here, now all the way.
When we take the time to know what we know, we know what's what and what is called for in order to do what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done, in aligning ourselves with the flow of life and being throughout what remains of the time left for living.
Which is all that can be asked of any of us, any time, any place. Neither the Buddha nor Jesus could do more.
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.
