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?

No expectations, no desires, no willful insistence on having things our way. Just seeing, just hearing, just sensing/feeling, understanding, knowing what’s what and whats happening, and what is called for, and what needs to happen in response, and doing it as it needs to be done, when it needs to be done, where it needs to be done in each situation as it arises, as “circumstances beget circumstances” (An old Taoist way of explaining the essence of “No beginning, no ending”) all our life long. This is the Way. All the way along the 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.
