"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).

Incapable Of Accepting Help On Our Terms

"Moritz’s experience, disappointing but never bitter, always colored by liking and affection, can teach us a great deal about imposing our will to help people and a system incapable of accepting help on our terms.”

(Wallace Stegner. In forward to The Farm On The River of Emeralds)
