"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).

Growing The Law?

"Who was that young woman flashing past?That was Tolstoi's daughter, Alexandria, Krylenko asked her: "What did you do during these conversations?" And she answered: "I attended the samovar." Three years of concentration camp!
And that's how the son of our freedom rose.
It was as just such a well-nourished little imp that our Octobrist child - Law - began to grow. Today we don't remember this at all."
