"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).

What God Uses To Teach?

The Warrior of the Light has learned that God uses solitude to teach us how to live with other people.
He uses rage to show us the infinite value of peace.
He uses boredom to underline the importance of adventure and spontaneity.
God uses silence to teach us to use words responsibly.
He uses tiredness so that we can understand the value of waking up.
He uses illness to underline the blessing of good health.
God uses fire to teach us about water.
He uses earth to explain the value of air.
He uses death to show us the importance of life."

(Paulo Coelho : Warrior Of The Light - Short Notes On Accepting Failure, Embracing Life )
