"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).

Here, But Not Really Present

"Presence is the one thing necessary, and in many ways, the hardest thing of all. Just try to keep your heart open, you're mine without division or resistance, and your body not somewhere else. Presents is the practical, daily tasks of all mature religion and all the spiritual disciplines.
If you observe wise people, you see that they actually lose a certain interest in gathering more and more information, books, and news. These can clutter what is already at clear field, open site, and simple presence to the moment."
