Linville River — 10/03/2018 — Blue Ridge Parkway Linville Falls, North Carolina
Finding what is ours to do
and doing it
when, where and how it needs to be done
in each situation as it arises
is asking a lot of each of us
all of the time.
But it never gets more difficult than that.

What is your "thing,"
you know that thing that you do
that you do best
and love to do most?
All of them.
What are they.

I love to look out the window,
drink coffee,
read, write, ask questions,
follow my curiosity,
make observations,
sit quietly,
go for a walk,
consider my options
and my chances.
Ponder what's for lunch.
And do what's called for
in and around these things.

That's what I call "Really Living."

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.
