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?

Seeing, hearing, understanding, knowing, doing, being, expands into seeing what we look at, hearing what we listen to, understanding what's what, knowing what's called for in each situation as it arises, doing it as it needs to be done, when, where, and how it needs to be done, while being who we are, where we are, when we are, how we are, throughout what remains of the life left for living.
All of which is grounded upon and flows from enough time spent in the right kind of emptiness, stillness, silence (One thing, not three) in a routine and regular way.
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.
