"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).

Jesus Freed From Religious Machinery

"Once you untangle Jesus from the religious machinery of Christianity, you discover a profound and inclusive significance of Jesus for all humankind and the journey of life. No person is excluded from that kind of transformation, regardless of one’s religious context. Every person has a religious context in which the significance of Jesus can be experienced because the Truth of Jesus is not bound to any particular religious system. Jesus himself had a religious context (Judaism), which he both honored and critiqued."

(Jim Palmer. Notes From Over The Edge)
