Re: [Philmont]: RE: Philmont 2004 Lessons Learned

I can explain these:
Gather the crew in a circle, everyone reflect on the day and contribute:
Roses = things that were great
Thorns = things that didn't go right, some conflict with another, etc
Buds = anticipations of something yet to happen, eg "tomorrow we'll climb
Baldy"

Devotionals are daily meditations using the devotional book "Eagles Soaring
High" suppplied by the Philmont Chaplains at your checkin. (Call Philmont
before your trek - they might be able to send you one ahead of time, so you
can be familiar with it.) There is a devotional for each day on the trail,
and most reflect on a line from the Philmont Hymn or Grace - "Starlight
Skies Above", "Winds in Whispering Pines", "For Friendship and Fellowship",
etc

I am very familiar with "Roses & Thorns", but what are the "Buds &
Devontionals"?
