"Sr. Elaine Roulette, the founder of My Mother's House in New York, was asked, 'How do you work with the poor.' She answered, 'You don't. You share your life with the poor' It's as basic as crying together. It is about 'casting your lot before it ever becomes about 'changing their lot." (Tattoos on the Heart) pg172
"Keep safe and don't let the wackadoodles get to you. They got to me and I suspect I will never be the same again." (Friend,AB) "The farsighted tend to get blindsided by the near sighted." Barry Kolb
"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).
