"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).

Blue Eyed Jesus Seed?

This girl cracks me up. But she gets to the point, and it's a good one.

"I “asked Jesus into my heart” when I was 10 years old. Then I left him there for about 15 years.
 
There were no outward signs of “fruit” in my life. Because my Jesus was dormant. He was there, the seed was planted, but it was unactivated. Without root. Alive, but sleeping.
 
And then one day the damned thing woke up. My little Jesus seed stretched his atrophied arms, wiped the sleep blindness from his pretty blue eyes, and then he stood up and looked around at all the other sleeping seeds. And he was pissed."
