"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).

Tranquillity of The Holy Spirit

"St. John of the Cross says that every quality or vitrue which the Spirit really produces in our souls has three distinguishing characters.....

  Tranquillity, Gentleness, Strength. 

.... Fuss and feverishness, anxiety, intensity, intolerance, instability, pessimism and wobble, and every kind of hurry and worry -these, even on the highest levels, are signs of the self-made and self acting Soul the spiritual parvenu"

- Evelyn Underhill. The Spiritual Life
