"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).

To Busy To Hear Anything

  How are we to know, or find out what the Will of God is?...... The difficulty comes when there is a conflict of loyalties, or a choice between two apparent gods. At such points many feel unaware of any guidance, unable to discern or understand the signals of God; not because the signals are not given, but because the mind is too troubled, clouded and hurried to receive them.  

“He who is in a hurry,” said St.Vincent de Paul,  “delays the things of God.”
