Waiting for Godot

Let the sentinels who keep watch
take no rest nor allow him to rest
until he has remembered his promises
and returns to make us the boast of the earth!

Misplaced allegiances lead to a lot of grim realizations, no?
Leading to Now what? Where do we go from here?
The Silence is always with us.
We could go there and listen for what is called for here, now,
and do that
when, where and how it needs to be done.
And see where it goes.
There is nothing wrong with that for a life plan!

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.
