"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).

The Greatest Lie...... The Old Man Says....

"Everyone believes the world's greatest |ie," continued the old man. "What is the world's greatest lie?'' the boy asked. ''It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie." - The Alchemist

I love this quote. I personally don't believe that fate takes over. But I also do not believe that we are in control of many things.  Cancer.... tragic sickness. Etc.
