"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).

Did You Spend The Night With God.

Throughout this friendly meal, I think about how she has described contemporary Algeria, where fundamentalist social attitudes are on the rise again. “Women will attack you and say, ‘How do you not wear the scarf? Didn’t God show you the good law?’ ” Cherifa Kheddar remains defiant. “I say to them, ‘Did you spend the night with God so you know what God wants?’ ”
