"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).

Stunning Man.... Profound Vision .... Simply Executed!

This stunning photo was taken in the bush 30km SE of Sikasso, Mali ,West Africa.....near the Samogho village of Mandela. This amazing old man, Sankoro Traoré, is still planting orange and other fruit trees he will never live to harvest. This is in the Sahel, just south of the Sahara desert. Watering them is hard work here. This is an inspirational story of a man with a vision. We are now working with some old women and widows because of his vision. Drip irrigated gardens just south of the Sahara desert. That is my wife Lynn in the background. The most courageous woman I know. Driving on the back of a moto into the dusty bush with me... all to make a difference where few else will even go, even those with fancy 4*4 trucks with AC.
