"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).

Illusions Of Academia

With rising student debt and few jobs secured after.... Thoreau was on to something even then.

"As with our colleges, so with a hundred "modern improvements"; there is an illusion about them; there is not always a positive advance."
(Henry David Thoreau. Walden )
