"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).

Children Catch More Grasshoppers

When a Peace Corps worker was trying to impress on some Congolese men why having fewer children is better for them economically, one of the men in the group simply said,

"Catch a child a grasshopper to eat today and he'll catch you another grasshopper tomorrow."(Congolese Proverb)

Which is why they see great value in having many children.
