GUARD THE ROSE!
YEARS ago in the old Russian Empire, the ruling Czar was strolling through his palace gardens when he came upon a lonely sentry standing at attention in a secluded corner of the great meandering gardens. "What are you guarding," asked the inquisitive Ruler. "To tell you the truth O Great Sovereign, I don't really know, but the captain of the guard ordered me to this post," the sentry replied. The Czar then summoned the Captain and made further inquiries to what was being guarded?
The Captain of the guards reply to the Czar was, "O Great Sovereign there are Written regulations specifying that a guard was to be assigned to that immediate area at all times and this has always been done as far as I can remember.” The curious Czar, then and there ordered a search to find out why? The archives finally yielded the reason: Years before, Catherine the Great had planted a special ROSE BUSH in that corner and she had ordered a sentry to be posted there to guard it, so nothing might disturb or damage it. Several hundred years later, sentries were still guarding the now barren spot, even though no one really knew WHY!
Traditions can be very beautiful experiences, useful in preserving valued ideals, handed down from family, culture and faith. However, we should be wise in our choices, on what to spend our time GUARDING! The guards of our Lives....Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding should keep us informed concerning what....if any, traditions, rituals or protocols are valid to our well being! It might do us well to allow our guards to better keep watch over our inner Garden, rather than stand endlessly guarding an ancient Rose that died centuries ago!
