CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We don’t always have time for a sharing but today we did.  What I found interesting is today when we ran up the biggest hill, or when the street lights were out and we could barely see, or when we ran back up the grinder, those were the times when the most jokes and comraderie happened.  It strikes me every time that when the going gets rough, and the struggles are real, that going through things in the gloom with brothers beside you makes it easier.  It doesn’t make the challenge any less, but it sure makes finishing easier.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The theme song for today was The Weight performed by The Band.  Comments about the group and the song were sprinkled out during the beat down but never was the answer given or announced about what the weight referred to.  The song was sung by Levon Helm, the only American and the only deceased member of the group.  The other four are Canadian including the songwriter, Robbie Robertson.  Anyway, the weight was put on the story teller by Miss Fanny.  “You know she’s the only one who sent me here, with her regards for everyone.”  That was it.  The burden, the weight was to go throughout town and to say hello and wish all well for Miss Fanny.  How often is that a hardship, an uncomfortable thing for many of us to do?  Too often men want to withdraw and not open up to others.  Too often we internalize ourselves to avoid exposure.  Too often we do want to connect and be interested in someone else.  How much more could we all put ourselves out in a true servant role to be of help for all we encounter?  The challenge today and everyday is to not look upon that as a weight, but as something that can be a blessing to the giver and the receiver.
