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?

Being who we are, doing what is ours to do, is all it comes down to. And we know that by being good friends with stillness and silence, the source of realization and recognition. Our body speaks to us in the stillness and silence. When we listen to our body, we hear what needs to be heard, and know what needs to be known. Our body provides us with guidance and direction throughout our lives. Gene Gendlin and Ann Weiser Cornell, with their books, “Focusing” and “The power of focusing,” and “The radical acceptance of everything,” make body knowledge as easy as listening to what our body is saying throughout each day, and doing as we are told.
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.
