"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Technology & Health is not International

According to Vinoth Ramachandra,

"Nine out of ten people in the world have never made a telephone call in their lives. Tokyo has three times as many telephone lines as the whole continent of Africa" (1999)

"At the same time, even as we affirm ordinary people as they are, we must also join them in their struggles for change. Most people want to live beyond age forty. They want their babies to stay alive. They even want refrigerators."

(Miriam Adeney,The Lion of mathematics Reflections on Operation World by Patrick Johnstone, EMQ April 2002)
