"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).

Time To Play

"There is nothing more serious than play, and those two years were awful and marvelous and ultimately serious as hell, the best and worst days of my life, and when I dream now very often I am once more walking up that stream wet to the waist or standing alone on the hillside.......  What business does an old man have sitting for an hour in a patch of sunlight on that deserted and Silent Hillside watching a great wasp. Insanely active, hunt for, fine, fight, and paralyzed and enormous spider?"
