One way of finding The Way is allowing The Way to find us. One way to do that is to not care if we find The Way or not. To stop looking for The Way and simply focus on where our true interests lie. Allowing our interests to lead the way may reveal that our interests know more about what is really The Way for us than The (other) Way will be. It comes down to discovering what our own truth actually is. It may not be what we think it is. We might consider taking up the practice of standing/sitting before the choice at hand and thinking, “Yes? or No?” and seeing what our body says in the matter. Checking it out with our body first allows a different hierarchy to take command, with different outcomes, and new possibilities.

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.
