CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Concentrate every minute like a Roman— like a man— on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice. And on freeing yourself from all other distractions. Yes, you can— if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered , irritable. You see how few things you have to do to live a satisfying and reverent life? If you can manage this, that’s all even the gods can ask of you.”

-Marcus Aurelius

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

-Marcus Aurelius

Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature’s law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.”Tupac Shakur

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I recently spent a week in Folley Beach, SC and traveled up to Charleston for a couple of days.  What really struck me about Charleston was the history of the town and the preservation of many old buildings.  This inspired me to learn a little more about Maryville.  So here’s a start on that journey.

Fort Craig, which was located on Pistol Creek, was the first settlement in the area which is now the City of Maryville.  The fort craig spring landmark is located on the greenway near the Blount county chamber of commerce. The fort was built in 1785 to protect settlers from Indian attack. The City of Maryville was established on July 11, 1795. Maryville was named in honor of Mary Grainger Blount, wife of Governor William Blount. The county was named in honor of Governor Blount. Almost a year later, on June 1, 1796, the State of Tennessee became the 16th state in the Union,

The other PAX completed their respective exercises and couldn’t move on to the next exercise until the COD PAX finished. Once completed, then each PAX rotated clockwise to the next station.

After each PAX completed one round in the circle, then the group took a mosey & completed two rounds of the Bataan Death March (3 burpees per round).

Returned back to the grindstone and completed another round of the exercises above. The COD was revised for round 2:
