So What?

A vibration of shock can be felt through all souls present and accounted for. We can see the devastation created from the wall of water that has torn over the once beautifully treed landscape far below our height created sanctuary.

Whatever universal forces have conspired to bring us to this place and out of the reach of such an awe inspiring and destructive force, we give thanks.

Haphazardly seated in an open area heated by the warmth of the sun, all eyes are now on the Captain who carries a look of both draining concern and sheepish pride.

He begins talking about how far we have come and how different we are from the group that got on the boat some 50 days ago. How the knowledge and skills we have acquired were beautifully displayed over the last few days in ensuring our safe arrive in this place.

Financially, where is this place? Where have we come to and how are we to apply the knowledge and skills we have spent all this time learning? Does a Tsunami lie in our future? Like on our island, nature is not a certainty, but a matter of probability.

This place includes the pieces necessary for the foundation of our financial house and now is a good time to start asking how they fit together. What kind of house do we need to build to protect us from what ever future storms may be coming our way?

It is time to start to answer the age old strategic question;

“So What?!”
