"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).

Even Ugly People Look Beautiful

Commenting about the beauty of the light and time just around sunset in Congo....Great book, a memoir by a Peace Corps worker.

"So Sublime was this period between about 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. that in Tshiluba, the melodious and complex language spoken by the Kalabayans, it was known as `the time of day when even ugly people look beautiful'."
