Introduction
The deep freeze has lasted all week with temps just above and just below zero.
Fitting as we were about to head to the final 3 circles of hell where it’s not the flames that get you, it’s the frozen life around you.
Still, 12 PAX made the choice to get better today to fire it all up.

Circle of Trust
Dante’s Inferno…the poem is about sin and it’s consequences, choices, fate, and justice
In a 3 Part Q Series, we made it thru 9 circles of hell:
- First Circle: Limbo
- Second Circle: Lust
- Third Circle: Gluttony
- Fourth Circle: Greed
- Fifth Circle: Anger
- Sixth Circle: Heresy
- Seventh Circle: Violence
- Eighth Circle: Fraud
- Ninth Circle: Treachery
In closing, I’m going to share a few parts of the poem that have resonated with me overtime in how the resonate with how we live our lives…
#1 Do not be afraid, our fate cannot be taken from us, it is a gift
#2 In the middle of the journey of our life I found myself within a dark woods where the straight way was lost
#3 Because your question searches for deep meaning, I shall explain in simple words
And the favorite…
#4 The path to paradise begins in Hell
It’s no consequence we end today with Guns n Roses cover of Bob Dylan’s Knockin On Heaven’s Door.
For when our cold black cloud is coming down and we feel like we’re knocking on heaven’s door…
Who do you want to answer?
We will make mistakes. Here’s to learning from them. And making better choices. Our fate and the legacy of our life rest on them. So if find yourself going thru hell, keep going.
Make it a hell of a Good Friday gentlemen.
Prayers.
