"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).

Never Been Down It.

"We stopped at this gas station somewhere down in Nebraska there, and, a, there was this guy, this old guy, sittin on the porch of this house.

We said, 'How far is the next gas station down the road here?'

He said, 'This road goes all the way to California.' He said that. 'But I've never been down it.'

I remember that, things like that, 'never been down it.'"
