"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).

Precipice Dancing!

I heard the ballad of a fool
who's simple song made synonyms
of life and death and cursed the
right and called it wrong:
Come play along the precipice -
Don't worry that the cliff is steep -
The little flowers on the brink
Are daisies, but their roots
grow deep."

- Calvin Miller. The Singer Trilogy (chapter XIV)
