"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).

Much Work To Do About Slavery!

After reading this note, from a confidential source I can't name, it makes one realize that slavery is not only an issue for the rich, but also about slavery of the mind too. This is for real!

"Senegalese people are obsessed with wanting to go to America.  They think we’re all super rich, and that by coming here, they can be super rich too.  Recently one of my friends was talking with his family about slavery in America.  His description was somewhat as follows: “yeah, boats would come to Africa, and fill up with Africans that were to go to America to work.”  Well his family was so keen on the idea that they asked him if boats like this still existed, and if so, how they could get on one."
