"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 participatory revolution. That is a word Bruner Barnhart used. That religion is not an experience of observation - of something over there - and if you understand it, and you agree with it, and you affirm it, then you are saved. 

We can't  get by with that anymore because it isn't true. It just isn't true! Religion as attendance, religion as a spectator sport watching the right theatre pieces, watching the right sacraments observed validly is, somehow, of itself, going to transform you."

- Richard Rohr.
