"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).

Moving From Wondering To Answering

"...asking of questions opened up wonder and encourage spiritual curiosity.....
At that time, Franciscans and Dominicans were like a Catholic debating Society, hardly ever holding the same exact opinion, and in those days both of us could remain inside the Catholic fold. 
Unfortunately, in later centuries this practice degenerated to just needing answers. And preferably certain answers. And preferably about everything. We moved from wondering to answering, which has not served us well at all."
