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?
As extensions of The One, we all are The One, and can easily rely upon the power of The One to be all we need to rise to meet whatever comes our way along the way.
The power of The One resides in such things as good luck, curiosity, humor, good faith, resiliency, forthrightness, perspective, attitude, perception, projection, assumption, observation with detachment/disengagement, emptiness-stillness-silence, knowing where/when/how to draw lines, set limits, restrict unwarranted intrusions into our space/life, knowing where we stop and someone else starts, knowing where we belong and where we have no business being, knowing what our business is and is not, honoring all boundaries great and small, etc.
The power of The One is the power of knowing who we are and what we are about, and being who we are, doing what we are about.
Knowing what is called for in each situation as it arises and doing what needs to be done about it, when, where and how it needs to be done, doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right place, in the right way-- which is living aligned with the drift and flow of the Tao from moment to moment all our life long.
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.
