"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).

Narrow tunnel

"Been part of this narrow life, and now that I have adopted different rhythms, habits and structures in my life, I'm looking back and seeing most in that circle see only one huge uniform way for it to operate. There is no outside information getting into that circle, so they repeat what everyone is doing, but simply twee king it to make it better, and it's not really getting any better.
"The surest way to stop thinking is to read books only in one field and talk only to people who work in one field." 
(English philosopher John Locke)
