"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).

Self Delusion Must Go

"Prophetic thinking is the necessary capacity for healthy self-criticism, the ability to recognize you own dark side, as the prophets did for Israel. Without that, most people (and most of religion) never move beyond tribal thinking, which is the beliefthat they and their group are the best, and really the ''only.’’ It creates narcissism instead of any possibility of enlightenment." (Richard Rohr)
