Jim Dollar's Photography and Philosophy
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?
To live from our center, core, ground, foundation, truth would mean what? Around what do we coalesce? Our identity flows from what? When we act spontaneously, without thinking, planning scheming, who do we show ourselves to be? When have we surprised ourselves by saying/doing something? That is who we are. Who is that? Make that our meditative focus for our next session with emptiness, stillness, silence, and see what comes. How does that compare with who we think we are?
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.
