"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).

Plastic Buttons Decimated Poor Communities

"Until sometime in the 1920s the tagua nut was harvested where it grew wild and widely scattered through all the rain forest areas; it was shipped to Germany, England, and the United States and was used for making buttons. Hundreds of people had their standard of living further lowered when some jerk invented plastics."
(The Farm On The River of Emeralds. Moritz Thomsen)
