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?
Brown Trasher 01 — Scenes From My Hammock, 22-acre Woods, Indian Land, South Carolina
The solution to being perennially happy is to stop wanting things to be different than they are. Or, better, to stop wanting. What did wanting ever do for us anyway? When we come out of the womb, we have everything we need to find what we need to do what needs to be done. What more do we need? Besides cooperation, I mean. Cooperation is the missing item in everyone’s life. I don’t know why that is so difficult to secure. What does it take to be a little bit helpful?
How to be cooperative–which could also be understood as “lovingly kind”–is the one thing that would be most helpful around the world throughout the Cosmos. No?
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.
