"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).

The Bee Fertilizes The Flower It Robs

Charles A. Beard. He was once asked by one of his students whether he might be able to put the lessons he had garnered over a lifetime of historical study into a few brief maxims. Beard compiled and offered these four brief sentences: 

a. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad with power. 

b. The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly fine. 

c. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. 

d. When it is dark enough you can see the stars.20
