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?
Johnson Creek Fall — Beaufort County, South Carolina
If we didn't want anything, how would we know what to do? How do we know what is called for? What determines our action on the field of action? What guides our boat on its path through the sea?
It is possible to remove wanting from our life. Why would we do that? To know what is called for, and to do what needs to be done-- whether or not we want to to it, or want it to be done.
Live without wanting and see what happens. What impulses will direct our living with wanting out of the way? If we have no interest in the outcome, what will determine how we live?
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.
