"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).

Biblical Solitude Is Not Solitude

"On several occasions we find Jesus retreating from the crowd simply to be alone. But the evidence suggests that he was doing more than simply seeking a little peace and quiet. Instead we find him withdrawing from the business of his ministry to be alone with God. This is the classic definition of solitude - not being alone, but withdrawing from the everyday stuff of life to be alone with the father."

- Dr Leslie Hardin. The Spirituality of Jesus Solitude, quiet
