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?

We have to know what we know. We have to listen until we hear. Probe, question, examine until we understand. Comprehend. Make connections. Realize. See. We drop into the emptiness, stillness, silence, and wait for the truth to become clear.
We know what we seek. We wait for the epiphanies.
The silence is filled with answers. Do not run from knowing. Enlightenment is awakening to the truth of who we are, and how things are, to what's what and what is called for. The click of knowing is the sound of things falling into place.
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.
