"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).

A Selfish Pilgrim is Not A Pilgrim

"The presence of the weak among us opened a deep conversation in the group. Do we stay true to the plan at all costs? Not allowing the slower ones to slow down the progress of the rest?  Have we turned the way of Saint James, and maybe our lives, into a competition only for the strongest? What good is it to reach our goal if we don't learn to walk alongside those who are weaker? The suffering of others reveals the truth about each one of us.as a result, we discovered that a selfish pilgrim is not a good pilgrim. We are learning to live as brothers.
