"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).

We Can't Out Run Sadness

"I made the mistake for so many years of running away from my past. I eventually decided to walk into the darkness rather than try to outrun it, to let my sadness take me on a journey wherever it would lead, and allow it to transform me rather than to think I could somehow avoid it. Sometimes I turn around and surprisingly discover little ways God is healing wounds and making me whole, but I’m still not ”fine.”"
