"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).

Calibration of Compassion


Spoke by a priest working with gangs in California, to make peace. 
"Dante speaks of having compassion for the dammed. We need not feel ourselves as soft on crime if we see this kind of compassion as its highest calibration." Tattoos on the Heart. Gregory Boyle. pg 67
