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?
Integrity is the solid ground of being.
Every natural thing is just what it is.
The Buddha is celebrated as "one thus come."
Like a new-born baby.
Popeye the Sailor Man's theme was "I yam what I yam!"
It is the most important thing to be.
Integrity, Sincerity, Authenticity.
The Holy Trinity of human behavior.
And the goal is to be that spontaneously, automatically,
in response to the circumstances as they unfold before us.
Why is that difficult?
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.
