"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).

Take Peace With You Into Each Moment

"Both the enlightened and ignorant person has difficulties and hardships. The difference is that the ignorant person is attached to their circumstances for peace, happiness, and well-being and the enlightened person is not. Which is easier – striving 24/7 to get your life to line up the way you want it, or not being attached to a preference of how it must be?

You think that your peace, well-being, and happiness has something to do with your life lining up. That’s your spiritual ignorance. Wouldn’t it be better to take peace, well-being, and happiness into each moment, whatever that moment holds?'

(Jim Palmer. Notes From Over The Edge)
