"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).

Wash Your Hands Or Rats Will Chew On Them

"Rio Verde was a seacoast town, and there wasn't a house, of course, that wasn't cursed with rats. A bamboo wall was no challenge at all; a good self-respecting rat could walk through one without slowing down. I had awakened several times, my flesh crawling, with rats running across my legs or over my arms, and the kids told me that they must wash their hands after having eaten fish or the rats would chew on their fingers while they slept."
(Living Poor. A Peace Corps Chronicle. Moritz Thomsen. Pg 68)
