"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).

Learning To Embrace The Life Before You At This Time.... Slowly.

The last twenty years of my life between Africa and Canada has been a struggle to do just this.
Sometimes I do well, other times not so well.
I’ve come to realize that longing is ok as long as it does not paralyze, as long as I slowly continue to embrace the life that has been given at this time, at this moment.-Marilyn R Gardner "Between Worlds: Essays on Culture and Belonging"
