"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).

New dynamics - We Rub Shoulders With People of Many Religions!

"Other faiths used to belong to other lands. At home,rival religious claims could safely be ignored. Or, if not ignored, patronized. The superiority of one's own faith was so evident that the alternatives could somehow be brought within its purview without posing any real theological or social threat. Today things are different. Different faiths are practiced cheek by jowl in most parts of the world."
(John Habgood, Archbishop of York,Preface to Many Mansions:Interfaith and Religious Tolerance,ed. Dan Cohn-Sherbok(London: Bellew Publishing, 1992), p. vii)
