"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).

Simply Living And Useless Beauty

This insightful paragraph so describes my life up to my late 30's. I regret it now, much of what I worked so hard at, and for, were a wasted life of lost experiences and lost relationships.
Most 'things' don't matter. Do not serve institutions, their policy or structure. Love people, do them right, get to know them, spend meaningful time with them, just love them without the institutional agenda. 

"In our formative years, we are so self-preoccupied that we are both overly defensive and overly offensive at the same time, with little time left for simply living, pure friendship, useless beauty, or moments of communion with nature or anything."
(Richard Rohr. Falling Upward)
