"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).

Body and Soul United

Remarkable statement about ancient world views.

"Nevertheless it is true that the Jew maintained a sense of the unity of being which is not native to us,  ..... The remarkable feature of this is not that the Jew or later Judaism could not distinguish between outer and inner but that he would not separate them when he did understand the distinction."

- G.R. Beasley-Murray.  Baptism in The New Testament
