"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).

Letting Go Of The Illusion.

And running toward the real thing, which is not a thing, rather a person. Jesus.

<blockquote>"Let go of the good old days that never were-a regimented church you never attended, traditional virtues you never practiced, legalistic obedience you never honored. and a sterile orthodoxy you never accepted. The old era is done. The decisive in break of God has happened... Don't cling to cheap, painted fragments of glass when the pearl of great price is being offered." (Brennan Manning. Ragamuffin Gospel, pg 110) <blockquote>
