"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).

Life Process of Transformation

Did anyone ever tell you that Jesus' very first message in the Gospels, which is usually translated as "conver," "repent," or "reform" (Matthew 14:17, Mark 1:15) is the "Greek word metanoia, which quite literally means to "change your mind"? Jesus first word to us was "change!" - and mind change at that! ....

Once you accept ongoing change as a central program for yourself, you tend to continue growing throughout all all your life.

Jesus knows that self-critical, yet not negative, people will always keep growing and engaging with the world around them, with themselves, and with God."

- Richard Rohr. The Naked Now.
