It’s Sisyphus

3/28/23

Conditions: Dark and humid

Toxic- Normal

Jumanji-Crustier than usual.

As I’m sure all of you are aware, Sisyphus was the kind of Ephyra. He cheated death so Hades punished him by forcing him to roll a huge boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down once he got to the top. For eternity. Sounds like a Lifo beatdown.

Since we don’t have a hill or a boulder, I came up with the next best thing. The Circle of Sisyphus!  (this is a modified version which premiered at Anchor on Saturday. Toxic was not amused.)

We are finishing up Mental Battle month. A lot of men are battling yet won’t say anything. We need to be more diligent at asking the tough questions to get past the surface.

 

Thank for letting me lead!
