"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).

Knock My Head Off Science and Religion

Karl-Friedrich was the least pleased with Dietrich’s decision. Karl-Friedrich had already distinguished himself as a brilliant scientist. He felt Dietrich was turning his back on scientifically verifiable reality and escaping into the fog of metaphysics. In one of their arguments on this subject , Dietrich said, “Dass es einen Gott gibt, dafür lass ich mir den Kopf abschlagen ,” which means something like, “Even if you were to knock my head off, God would still exist.”

(Eric Metaxas. Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy)
