"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).

Unlearning is Often The Real Issue

As a West African NGO, I have to deeply agree with this statement. The real pivotal points are almost always hinged more on local peoples resources, resourcefulness, history and habits, than it is about any new ideas we try to introduce.

"...transformation is often more about unlearning than learning "

(Robert Rohr. Falling Upward)
