"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).

Winning a Man's Head But Not His Heart

"Truth is not something you can master. It's a person—Jesus. You have a relationship with Truth, not a mastery of him. And you can introduce people to him, you don't need to convince them. It is not solely an intellectual ascent, though many have made it that. Sadly, you can win a man's head without his heart. That's a dead man walking for he has become self-righteous and yet does not really know Truth. Information can only tell you about someone, but it is not the same as knowing them: to share experience with them." 

(M. C. Lang. The Bastard Tree. Pg, 106.)
