"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).

Off The Mountain!

"Like the top of a mountain that provides a great view of what has been and what might be but is no place to live, the past must not be dehistoricized or abstracted from the real world. Stay on the mountain, and you don’t hear the robin’s song or the loon’s haunting cry; you don’t see the fields of clover or smell the fragrance of flowers. To live, one must go down and enter the world. One must “enflesh” the world for it to be claimed by God."
