Nova Scotia Beach — 09/23/2008
Knowing what is called for in each situation as it arises
and doing what needs to be done,
by listening in the silence/emptiness/stillness
for clarity and realization
and offering what is needed
with the gifts of our original nature,
innate virtues (The things we do best
and love to do most),
inherent imagination
and intrinsic intuition,
is our basic plan for approaching
what remains of time upon the earth.

There never has been more to it than this,
and never will be.

Good luck with the rest of the journey!

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.
