"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).

Moralism Is Not Faith Transformation

" Moralism (as opposed to healthy morality} is our reliance on largely arbitrary purity codes, magic rituals, and "requirements" for our supposed enlightenment, "salvation," or any form of
superiority. Every group and individual relies on moralism in its early stages. We look for something behavioral to externally do or not do rather than undergo a radical transformation of our very mind and heart.... Mature religion is about change, not little changes.
(Immoral Diamond. Richard Rohr)
