This is 058 of “200 Zen Thoughts #3 by Jim Dollar” on my WordPress Blog:

The power to be who we are lies latent within us all awaiting our waking up to the truth of our own being and living in ways that are aligned with the thrust of our own heart and soul. The thrust of our own heart and soul is the drift and flow, the Tao, of our Psyche/Self which is inherent within us all, calling us to wake up, see, hear, know and understand who we are and what is ours to do in the time and place of our living. This is what enlightenment, awakening, realization comes down to. We live to wake up to ourselves and bring ourselves forth in the life we are living as a blessing and a grace upon all who share the word with us for as long as we live. Amen! May it be so!

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.
