"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).

Power Corrupts Us All

"The passion for gain was their universal passion. After all,  in the absence of any checking up, such power was inevitably used for personal enrichment. Ine would have to be 'holy' to refrain."

- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The Gulag Archipelago.
