"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).

Black And White Disillusionment

"The normal magnificence of black people makes white people too boring to contemplate, My eyes find no mystery in their pale skins, in the familiar symptoms of their disintegration or their mediocrity They are as invisible to me for their color as I am to them for my age. And so many of the blancos are old; they look like
first-generation European immigrants, their faces sullen with failure or disillusion. I do not want to look at old people and recognise myself."

( Moritz Thomsen. The Saddest Pleasure: A Journey on Two Rivers)
