Lake Chico Cypress Swamp — Lake Chico State Park, Ville Platt, Louisiana
It is no more difficult 
than recognizing what is called for
in each situation as it arises
and doing it where/when/how it is called for
with the gifts of our original nature,
our innate virtues (The things we do best
and enjoy doing most),
our inherent imagination
and our intrinsic intuition.

We bring ourselves forth to meet the moment.
And do there what needs to be done.
How can that be hard?

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.
