"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).

Kidnapped....

Canadian Diplomat Kidnapped in Niger...held in Mali. Released near Mopti in 2010.
"Ibrahim snorted with derision. “I told you I was Senegalese. What would I be doing with a gang of amateurs like that?” I simply stared at him as the fire danced in his menacing black eyes. Finally, drawing out the moment with cruel anticipation, he fiercely spat the words, “We are Al Qaeda!” And the bottom fell out of my world." (Robert Fowler. A Season In Hell. My 130 Days In The Sahara With Am Qaeda)
