"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).

Sing Your Song

"Unhappiness and depression begin the day the music stops or when we try to sing someone else's song... If you don't sing your song........ others discount you for not speaking from the soul."
(Leonard Sweet. Nudge. Pg156)

I'd have to say I was singing another persons song, having been told it is the song we all must sing, when really it was just theirs pushed upon me.
