"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).

Settlers Often Oppose Pioneers

Should we stick around? Settlers are always opposed to the pioneers, and think them wreckless and irresponsible with their head in the sky. Kingdom wise, I think pioneers are still required.
"Spaniards......And all along the coast Indians came out against them, shouting and calling that they were "banished men." They taunted them with the hair on their faces, saying that they were the scum of the sea, and that they could have no other ancestry since the sea had thrown them up. "Why do you wander the world," they cried. " You must be idle vagabonds since you stay nowhere to work and sow the earth."
(Agustin de Zarate. The Discovery and Conquest of Peru.)
