"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).

Find Your In Path In Life

"One young man of my acquaintance, who has inherited some acres, told me that he thought he should live as I did, if he had the means. I would not have any one adopt my mode of living on any account....  but I would have each one be very careful to find out and pursue his own way, and not his father's or his mother's or his neighbor's instead.  The youth may build or plant or sail, only let him not be hindered from doing that which he tells me he would like to do."
(Henry David Thoreau. Walden )
