"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).

Refusing To Be The Hero Idol

"The true Leader must always be able to disillusion. It is just this that is his responsibility and his real object. He must lead his following away from the authority of his person to the recognition of the real authority . . . He must radically refuse to become the appeal, the idol...."

(Eric Metaxas. Bonhoeffer:Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy. His Sermon on radio 2 days After Hitler became party leader  in January, 1933)
