"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).

Poverty On The Edge of Perpetual Crisis

Living Poor is like being sentenced to exist in a stormy sea in a  battered canoe, requiring all your strength simply to keep afloat; there  is never any question of reaching a destination. True poverty is a  state of perpetual crisis, and one wave just a little bigger or coming  from an unexpected direction can and usually does wreck things."
 - Moritz Thomsen. Living Poor.
