"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).

Tin Man

He put on a great show when I dropped a few coins.
Tin man reminded me of how people become controlled by invisible strings attached at every point by institutionalism and you perform for them like an anonymous Tin Man. We have to act, participate, help put on their show, but who really knows you? Who really has time for you? Who really sees YOU for who you are after the coin show is over? Who lets you into their lives so you can love them too?  Tin Men.... putting on the show. But no one ever knows the real man, and he never really knows you. But hey, what a great show.......... right!
