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?

Change anything and we change everything-- and we are changing things big time. With no regard for the implications of any of it. At a rate where nothing has the leisure of a comfortable adjustment to anything.
The impact upon the intuitive structure of the entire cosmos is incalculable, but. It will take a lifetime of emptiness, stillness and silence over many generations to approach the stability of the planet the day before the rock hit the moon that knocked a piece of the moon into the earth.
In the meantime, our best recourse is to take the time to sit peacefully, dropping into emptiness, stillness, silence, giving our intuition a chance to settle us into a pattern of recovery, reflection and realization, enabling us to be who we are, doing what is called for in each situation as it arises as best we can with the gifts that are ours to serve and share in the time left for 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.
