"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).

Farming Where We Pray More Than We Spray

"From a practical viewpoint Ramon knew much more than I did about tropical agriculture, but he had grown up in that medieval world of ritualized poverty where out of absolute desperation a farmer goes into partnership with God. He prays instead of sprays."
(Moritz Thomsen. The Farm On The River of Emeralds)
