"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).

Mandela Made A Marriage Possible

At the news of Nelson Mandela's death, my friend Catherine Robar, originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and now living and working in South Africa with her South African husband, wrote today, December 5th 2013)

"Without these sacrifices Gcinisizwe would have been jailed or murdered for being found in the presence of white people, and I would have been deported back to Canada for fraternizing with black people. Thank you for sacrificing your life for our freedom."
