Smiling for the Camers — The Low Country, South Carolina

Our way of being in the world ideally flows from our intuition/psyche, and not from our will/desire. When we live in the flow of life in this moment right now–in THIS here, now–we align ourselves with our inner gifts and our outer circumstances, and miracle happens. We do what is called for with what we have to work with and bring ourselves to life as a blessing and a grace upon the time and place of our living. We do that by getting out of the way with our idea, desire, will for what needs to be done, and simply do what needs to be done. To do that, we have to learn how to stand aside as a willing, desiring human and bring ourselves forth as an intuitive, aware human. Or, we could say, we have to will, desire ourselves to be intuitive, aware. And allow everything to fall into place around, flow from, there.

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.
