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?

The Tao has a way, and we have a way. Whose way will be THE way? Following the Tao, living aligned with the Tao, is as simple as ignoring our way and allowing the Tao to become our new way. And that is as simple as dropping into the silence and discerning what is called for here, now, and what needs to be done, when, where and how, to do what is called for here, now. And doing it. In each situation as it arises for the rest of our life. That’s what Buddha did. And it is what Jesus did. And it is what all those who have known what the Tao knows have done throughout history. As Maya Angelo said, “There’s nothing to it but to do it.”
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.
