"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).

Christendom's Safe Little Box of Celebrity

"I’ve stepped into this kingdom myself, but years of religious programming stopped me from going with it for a while. I learned to mistrust and invalidate what I most deeply felt within. Instead, it was impressed upon me to have the right belief system and be done with it. Fear kept me in my head where God is known on paper, captured in creeds, and mediated through the goods, services, and personalities of Christendom; reasonable, safe, and doable."
(Jim Palmer. Wide Open Spaces)
