"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 Rabid Bite If A Boy

"“But why married, Lise? What makes you talk of such a thing? It’s quite out of place and perhaps the boy was rabid.” 
“Why, mamma! As though there were rabid boys!” 
“Why not, Lise, as though I had said something stupid! Your boy might have been bitten by a mad dog and he would become mad and bite anyone near him."

- Fyodor Dostoevsky. The Brothers Karamazov.
(Conversation between Madame Hohlakov and daughter Lise)
