Selleck welcomed the PAX to the Colosseum dispelled mission, core principles and disclaimer; and welcomed two FNGs. Selleck reminded the veterans to modify as needed.

The PAX moseyed to the track for peace talks. In honor of International Peace Day, Selleck encouraged the PAX to engage with a fellow member and focus on micro peace (inner peace) rather than macro peace (global peace). The pax moseyed two laps around Westside track running the straight aways and walking the curves. 1^st straight away 25%, 2^nd 50%, 3^rd 75% and 4^th at 100%. During curve walking PAX would share tips on inner peace.  When complete, PAX met at 50 yard line for warm-a-rama.

Announcements/Prayer Requests/COT:  

• Thoughts and prayers shared aloud and in silence
• Selleck shared a few quotes on inner peace that resonate with him and how F3 provides a breeding ground for growing our inner peace individually and collectively:
  • “A state of calm serenity and tranquility of mind that arise due to having no sufferings or mental disturbances such as worry, anxiety, greed, desire, hatred, ill-will or delusion” (Gogava et al, 2018, p.4).

• “A state of being mentally and spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of stress” (Barua, 2014, p. 24)  
• Coffeteria at Village Grinder.

Aye,

Selleck
