Random Building Thoughts - 2020-11-22

-------------- HUMOR --------------

Take great care in what you pride yourself for the spotlight you shine illuminates everything!

-------------- SAD MEMORY --------------

I was sadly reminded of another date that this day marks.

November 22, 1963, Dallas: John F. Kennedy, Assassinated

RIP Mr. President

-------------- INITIATION --------------

"A bit of advice given to a young Native American at the time of his initiation:

'As you go the way of life, you will see a great chasm.

Jump.

It is not as wide as you think.' "
-- Joseph Campbell, "A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living" (Copyright © 1991 Joseph Campbell Foundation), p. 26

-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE --------------

You have become disenchanted with all the usual routine Freemasonic activities and decide to buckle down and do the Apprentice Work pointed toward by Ritual. You focus first upon values and more specifically what you value most. As you do your Work, it becomes clear to you, as you examine your experience of life, that it is much richer as a result of specific individuals affecting it directly and indirectly. You are overwhelmed with gratitude as you think about their impact upon you.

Your Task:

1) Create a list of names of everyone who comes to mind who has enriched your life experience or enriches your life experience on a daily basis.
2) Next to each name on your list, write down how your life would be less rich if that person were not affecting it.
3) Write out how you would go about expressing your gratitude to each for their contribution to your life and then make it so!
