Introduction

This was at “the Island” in Wilmington.  I am proud of this BC so I just wanted to post this and make it visible for folks that weren’t there or were there and want to relive it.

I found some blades of grass that had grown clear through the middle of a rock and had started to root on the other side.  I replanted it at “the Island.”  This became the premise for the design and CoT

Teaser.  As soon as we put our hands straight out at 90 degrees they had to stay there or higher for the whole boot camp.  There was a resting position of putting your hands on your head but that was the only relief.  I encouraged the Pax to report failure to the group so they would have to do penalty burpees.

Circle of Trust

Getting on the Q sheet, leading somewhere new, trying to do something new is always challenging.  There are a lot of changes in our future and we will adapt and get through them together.  It is like this rock.  The blades of grass forced their roots through something that shouldn’t have happened.  Life usually finds a way.

We will support and help you men with whatever is needed in the region and when the time is right, let you go.  I just did a Q last week that was about letting go.  There is uncertainty and nerves connected to the actions of letting go that doesn’t mean the necessity is not there.  I had a Q on Thursday that I coQ’d with Foreclosure.  It was a black diamond and at the end of it I gave my flag to Foreclosure to continue the work at Sparkler and I have put into them.  I am good friends with both of them.  This won’t change.  Our fellowship and brother hood won’t change so what will.

From a fitness standpoint, you need to decide where you post the most and where you want stats to be tracked.  From a 3rd F standpoint, you need to begin considering what kinds of impact you want to make where you live.  We will work together to push through anything in our way and root in improbable places.  Life finds a way.  It is up to each of us to Bloom Where We are Planted. Aye
