"Keep safe and don't let the wackadoodles get to you. They got to me and I suspect I will never be the same again." (Friend,AB) "The farsighted tend to get blindsided by the near sighted." Barry Kolb
"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).

Never Sing A Lesser Piece
"You must not sing the Haters
song," the Father-Spirit cried,
Be very careful, for I love you,
Troubador.
"Now," cried the World Hater,
"Let's do this tune at once.
I'll pipe, you sing. Think of
the thousand kingdoms that will
dance about our feet."
"No, Hater, I'll not sing your melodies,"
the Troubadour replied.
What then Singer will you sing?"
"The Ancient Star-Song of the Father-Spirit."
"Alone, without accompaniment?"
"Yes, Hater, all alone if need be."
"You need my pipe, man."
"You need my song instead."
"The music of your song is far
beyond this tiny pipe."
"Then, go! For I shall never sing
a lesser piece."
- The Singer. Calvin Miller
Mission Is Standing Close To Evil
Hate sometimes
stands quite
close to love.
God too stands
often near to
evil-like silent
chessmen - side by side.
Only the colour
of the squares
is different."
- Calvin Miller. The singer
