"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).

Africa, Light, And Paraplegics

"Remember where you're from there are no Bush taxis or sacrifices for 120 degree afternoons spent in unair-conditioned tin structures. Remember where you're from there are escalators, ice cube machines, and stores with roofs. Where you're from you don't light your house with candles bought from a woven basket on top of a woman's head. And rats don't run through bars while paraplegic polio victims beg for francs.“

(Monique Maria Schmidt. Last Moon Dancing. 2005, Pg133)
