"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).

The Older I Get, The More I like The Wilderness.

I've had this desire to just get away...... I mean, just drive to  some wilderness, get out, pick a direction and walk it, for days on end. I'd probably get lost' but it's almost an aching in my soul. Newfoundland comes to mind.

"There is an unaccountable solace that fierce landscapes offer to the soul."

(Beldon Lane in, "The Solace of Fierce Landscapes")
