"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).

Good Schemes!

"Dishonesty, deceit, and defiance are everywhere, permeating both those working in the government and the man on the street as well. Stealing is permissible on every level. The misuse of government funds is one of the country’s most serious problems, and though it is talked about everywhere, no one is seriously interested in ending a custom that seems to benefit so many. Elaborate programs are popular because there will be more money to rake off. And in all classes of society there is the dishonesty of making grandiose plans with no intention of carrying them out." (The Barrios Of Manta. Rhoda Brooks. Pg 115)
