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?
Allowing things to play out according to their own drift and flow, while applying a light touch to influence direction and reduce impact, is the age-old secret of parenthood, as demonstrated in the black-and-white television classic, "Father Knows Best," and suggested in the first edition of the Tao Te Ching, on page after page.
Taking a disinterested interest in the outcome time after time produces a better outcome than "pushing the river" and insisting on My Way Now!
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.
