"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).

A Tangled History In Africa

Much truth in this statement for international workers....There is always much history, happenings, and events that are influencing what you are observing. We will probably never know the full story, but we live among and love them anyway.
"Up to this point, I knew little about the nature of the conflict except that it was a power struggle. Three men aspired to a position only one could occupy
But like most aspects of life here, the situation was more complex than it seemed. Guiding events was a tangled thread of history previously obscured to me."
