Integrity is being who we are,
doing what is ours to do.

How do we know what that is?
Knowing is where intuition comes in.
Knowing is what intuition does best.
When we know what to do,
it often comes upon us out of nowhere.
We are seized by the moment, in the moment,
and hear ourselves saying,
"Give me the ball!"
Or its equivalent.
And we are off
in the service of what needs us to do it.

Intuition is just that way.
And we would do well
to get out of the way
when intuition sparks us
into action.

In between times,
we can lie around
wondering what's for lunch,
but when it's time for action,
we know it
and have to be underway.

It is good to be able to count on intuition,
and for our intuition
to be able to count on us.

We make a team of two that way,
with a whole lot of living to do!

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.
