Birthday of poet and artist Shel Silverstein

Listen to the Mustn’t’s

Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child
Listen to the DON’Ts.
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES,
the WON’TS.
Listen to the NEVER HAVES,
Then listen close to me…
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.”
– Where the Sidewalk Ends

The Oak and the Rose
An oak tree and a rosebush grew,
Young and green together,
Talking the talk of growing things –
Wind and water and weather.
And while the rosebush sweetly bloomed
The oak tree grew so high
That now it spoke of newer things –
Eagles, mountain peaks and sky.
“I guess you think you’re pretty great,”
The rose was heard to cry,
Screaming as loud as it possibly could
To the treetop in the sky.
“And you have no time for flower talk,
Now that you’ve grown so tall.”
“It’s not so much that I’ve grown,” said the tree,
“It’s just that you’ve stayed so small.”
– A Light in the Attic

50 Kraken Burpees (3 hand release merkins to a burpee = 1)
50 BDE burpees (burpee, to a Bonnie Blair/jumping lunge (1 on each leg), to a squat = 1) 50 Bonnie Blairs/Jumping Lunge (right leg-left leg= 1).
Workout starts at the cone. Start the timer. Begin 50 kraken burpees. When timer goes off, sprint to the other cone that is 50 yards away and continue with Kraken Burpees. For example, if you did 8 kraken burpees before the timer went off, when you get to the opposite cone, you start counting with the number 9. This continues until you finish all 50 kraken burpees.
After finishing 50 Kraken Burpees, run one lap (400 meters). Upon completing 400 meters and returning to the cones, begin 50 BDE burpees. Same procedure as above. When you return, you start doing the BDE Burpees right away and when the timer goes off, you run to the other cone. You DO NOT have to wait for the next timer to go off when you return to start the BDE Burpees. After finishing 50 BDE Burpees, run two laps (800 meters). Upon completing 800 meters and returning to the cones, begin 50 Bonnie Blairs/Jumping Lunges (right leg-left leg = 1). When you return, you start doing the Bonnie Blairs/Jumping Lunges right away and when the timer goes off, you run to the other cone. MARY: Nope

COT: In Ecclesiastes 4:12, the Bible tells us that “though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” The cord symbolizes working together. Whether it be picking up the six, encouraging the person beside you, or providing supportive friendship, this should be a principle that epitomizes how we find strength.

MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Too beatdown to remember, something about a rave at Gigawatt’s house.
COT: 43 Feet is a leadership principle in F3 where we are building a road 43 feet ahead of the people driving on it. This is a major challenge for me personally. I like to plan and have confidence in where things are going. In F3 it’s important to step out in faith. If there’s something that’s on your heart, be that first man dancing. Just start it up and if it fails it fails. It’s ok if it ends up being nothing like you originally thought. The growth in the Blue Ridge Region hinges on us men stepping out in faith and trying out F1, F2, and F3 ideas. It doesn’t matter if this is your first or 100th beatdown, just do something and invite others to join you. Start building that field. AYE!

COT:
Reading from Shield Lock Q1.7
Man hunts best in a pack

Eyes to the side have the animals that hide. Eyes up front have the animals that hunt.

Man’s eyes are up front. We are hunters not hiders. In fact, we are the apex predator of the Earth’s apex predators. But unlike the other hunters, our success is not based upon strength, speed or the size of our fangs. It is our ability to hunt together in a very complex way that puts man at the very top of the food chain. No other animal can do that.

Some animals, like wolves, do hunt in packs because they have evolved to be more successful that way. But their focus is solely on their prey, what they can see before them with their eyes up front. When they claim their prey it is distributed along a vertical pecking order starting with the alpha male of the pack.

The man-pack hunts differently. Instead of focusing solely on his prey, a man also works cooperatively with other men in the pack to see what might be behind him. He recognizes that his eyes up front can only see from 9 through 12 to 3 o’clock. He is blind to his Six unless another man watches it for him. After all, what good is the hunt if the hunter himself is taken by something that sneaks up on him from a place that he, by himself, cannot observe? No man can see his own Six.

Having hunted as a part of a Team, man also distributes the catch that way. Instead of a vertical distribution driven by status, man shares the bounty horizontally, in recognition of the value each Member brings to the overall success of the effort. The man who watches the Six is just as important as the one who throws the spear.
