"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).

Returning to Obscurity

"Years earlier, I'd met an Englishman who had played the part of Lear for a theater company that traveled through villages in rural India. One day taking the role to heart, he simply walked off stage and into the jungle, only emerging five years later. When I met him he'd become the director of Oxfam in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, but was still dreaming of returning to the forest" (The Heart of the World. Ian Baker, pg20)
