"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).

Uncommunicated Feelings

This is such a reality of working in the bush in Africa, or Asia.
"Yes even as my village friendships improved, made by the hunt and other experiences, the lonely times in Kalambayi never left me. There were a lot of them, times when I felt utterly by myself and close to bursting from the pressure off uncommunicated feelings."
(Mike Tidwell. The Ponds of Kalambayi, pg162)
