"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).

No Room For Honesty or Relationship When You MUST Be Right

" "They align themselves on one side of the paradox at the expense of the other. They solve the unsolvable by denying half the equation, but their answers are never wholly satisfactory, which only makes them more inflexible. Unfortunately, there is no room for honesty when one must be perfectly right, and if there is no room for honesty then there is no communion, only false and shallow interactions. When people believe their salvation depends upon having everything figured out, their insecurity can contort them in ugly ways." (The Bastard Tree. M.C. Lang, pg 106)
