"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).

Brain Brakes......

I see this in the Homeschool movement. parents who think that "No Exposure To Any Other Idea" will prevent their kids from straying form their faith.... I believe it is in showing this is reasonable, and that exposure to other ideas makes us see the beauty of what we have. It was no choice, if we have never known anything else.
“Intelligent men do not decide any subject until they have carefully examined both or all sides of it. Fools, cowards, and those too lazy to think, accept blindly, without examination, dogmas and doctrines imposed upon them in childhood by their parents, priests, and teachers, when their minds were immature and they could not reason.” (James Hervey Johnson)
