"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).

Same Girl!

A young playwright went to see George Bernard Shaw for some coaching. "What's the secret of your success as a storyteller?" Shaw answered. "Well, it's really quite simple. Every play boils down to the same thing. My plots are all the same. Act 1, curtain rises, girl meets boy, curtain falls.  Act 2, curtain rises, girl falls in love with boy, curtain falls.  Act 3, curtain rises, girl marries boy, curtain falls.
The playwright snorted "But Mr Shaw, whats so exciting about that?"
Bernard Saw replied with a smile saying "Same girl, different boy."
