"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).

Small Things that Occupy

I am beginning to think Winnie the Pooh understands how good things, fine things, things that are OK,  clutter our heart and prevent us from living for the most excellent things. Have we settled, settled for the brokenness of the world as it is, accepting it's fallen terms, and in the process lost our dreams for the greater visions for something that is good, safe, secure, and OK- at least OK in most people thinking, except your own?
 "Sometimes the littlest things take up the most room in your heart." Winnie the Pooh
