Make a practice of writing your questions–not thinking of them but taking dictation as they come, as they appear, one question leading to another, adjusting them for clarity but receiving them as acceptable as they come.

What am I doing here? What needs to be done here? What is called for here, now? What is happening? What needs me to do it? What needs my help? How will we get to the bottom of things without someone to poke and probe, saying the things that need to be said, that cry out to be said, and asking the questions that beg to be asked? Of everyone? Of everything?

I would particularly like to interview Psyche. Who are you, Psyche? What are you about? Where did you come from? How did you get to be who you are? What are your earliest memories? Your deepest disappointments? Your greatest achievements? What do you need? How can I help with that? What is your purpose? What keeps you company? What are you living/working toward? What purposes are you serving? What drives you along the way? Where are you going? What constitutes success? Failure? What do you do on your days off? Are you the Big Boss of the Cosmos? Are you “That Which Has Always Been Called ‘God’?” Are you the essence of how things are? And of how things ought to be? How can I cooperate with you? How can I assist you? Be of service to you? What do I need to know? What would be helpful?

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.
