"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).

Literate Freedom

Working in an African region with the highest illiteracy rate in the world, this statement made me stop and think. There are villages we work in that do not even know their president was ousted by his own military, or that Islamic radicals seized half their country.
“To be literate is not to be free, it is to be present and active in the struggle for reclaiming one's voice, history, and future." (Henry Giroux)
