Roses Are Red

By Ryan, January 14, 2006

There’s more to life than girls. Look back on your past week and that becomes perfectly clear. You often never realize what you’re really doing until you see what the effect is.

Let’s look back on my week, for example. In fact, there are actually some good examples from last night, when I went to a lock-in with Boy Scout troop 216. When I went rock climbing, I felt like I was just going through the motions and whatnot. But after doing some ballaying, I saw that lots of younger Webelos were watching me and following my examples. Several 5^th graders that otherwise wouldn’t have understood the concepts of it figured it out by watching me. As “whatever” as that sounds, it helped them get their merit badges for climbing. One more merit badge was added to their Boy Scout “transcript,” which is one less they have to take to reach Eagle rank. Of course they owe it to more than just me, though.

Bees go out doing their own little thing, too... cross-pollinating flowers. They don’t necessarily realize that they are helping with nature, but they are. But, when you look at the big picture, aren’t we all?

So take a few moments to look at the roses you cross-pollinated unknowingly.
I know, that ending sounds nothing like me, but I saw a post on my uncle’s blog and had to put it here.
