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?
Waiting for things to fall into place is being attuned to what is called for here, now, and doing what needs to be done in the service of the time and place of our living. Tending the requirements of life as it is right here, right now is fundamental to all that follows. Just meeting the needs of the moment is the firs step into the rest of our life. Things fall into place around us meeting the moment as the moment needs to be met. What is waiting on us to act? Start there. Do that. One thing will lead to another and before we know it, things are falling into place in a wu-wei kind of 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.
