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?
The following sequence of five guys intuitively,
spontaneously merging as one in doing the right thing,
at the right time, in the right place, in the right way
is a remarkable capture of the Tao in action, in the moment
of its unfolding, and it is "just what it is" as
"one thus come," "here, now." The perfect response
to the situation in its unfolding. That is the Tao. Wu-Wei at its best! There are five players on a basketball team.
All five players touched the ball. The Tao of teamwork!
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.

We learn to respond to life by responding to life, seeing/knowing what works and what doesn’t work and applying what we know about what is called for and what needs to happen in light of that throughout the rest of our experience with living. Those who don’t see/know/do have a harder time of it than those who do.

It helps to drop into emptiness/stillness/silence
and reflect on what’s going on,
and see what comes to mind.
