It is all waiting.

What? When? Where? How? Then what?

All of it waits to see.

Spectators All, even the actors wait, watching.

The Cosmos waits even in the midst of the action.

Stars explode waiting for what's next.

We clean up the spilt milk waiting, wondering what's next.

It is all waiting.

Everything is on the way to somewhere else.

Waiting to see What? When? Where? How? Then what?

Nothing is ever done.

It is all on the move without appearing to be moving at all.

What's the hurry?

Waiting is never over.

It is all moving toward something else.

I sit watching. Waiting.

Writing you while we both wait.

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.
