In truth, the FC Degree
is the highest Degree.
In many ways,
the MM Degree
is merely Test Drive
to see if you did the Work.

Masonic Humor
“As a brother and I were walking down the street while we were visiting. We happen to pass a pet shop. It has a sign in the window that caught our eye. It said, “See our Masonic Birds.”
Well we looked at each other and since we had time before our scheduled meeting, we decided to investigate?
We went in and proceeded to the aviary to view the birds. While we were inspecting them the owner came over and offered to help us.
“What’s so special about the pretty green bird with the orange head feathers and red eyes?”, I asked.
“Oh, he recites the Working tools of the First Degree.”, was the reply. How much is that bird I queried. That one goes for $500 said the owner.
“What about that blue bird with the red trim feathers and yellow beak?, I asked.
“That bird knows the first degree tracing board charge and sells for $750.”, said the owner.
“And what about that outstanding purple bird with the iridescent green plumage”, I asked.
“That particular bird is exceptional because the does the whole of the Third Degree and he sells for $1,000.”
“Oh, I see. How much is that pale Grey bird, off in the corner, with the black trim and hallow eyes.” I inquired.
“Well that bird goes for $2,000.”, said the owner.
“Wow”, I said, “What does he do?”
“Nothing.”, replied the owner.
“Nothing?”, I repeated. “Well, then why are you charging so much for him?” I wanted to know.
“All I know”, said the owner, ”is that all the other birds call him,‘ Most Worshipful Grand Master’

For Further Light:
-------------- PURSUIT --------------
for your very Passionately
Misguided Efforts
May Kill and Bury what you Seek
Deep in
the Rubbish of your own Making.
The Craft Would Do Well
To Apply This Wisdom.
-------------- DO SOMETHING --------------
If you're Blessed,
there Shall Exist Defining Moments in your Life
where the Koolaid you have Accepted
no longer sits well in the Bowels of your Heart
and you Shall Do Something about it.
-------------- AVOID --------------
The Best Way to Avoid Disappointment
is to not make Appointments Irresponsibly...
...or with the irresponsible...
-------------- MYTH --------------
“We have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination,
we shall find a God.
And where we had thought to slay another,
we shall slay ourselves.
And where we had thought to travel outward,
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone,
we shall be with all the world.”
― Joseph Campbell
GOOD MASON HUNTING
We get to choose
who we let into our
weird little worlds.

-------------- SEEK YOU! --------------
Till you Truly Seek to Find a Better You.
-------------- VALUES --------------
To Know Your Value,
First Know Your Values.
-------------- BEGINS--------------
that the answers you're Told
are not Truly the Answers you Seek.
-------------- BE CERTAIN! --------------
The
Aprons,
on the Surface,
Reflect the Act's Premise.
But, they are not
Aprons;
for Certain They're Curtains,
and we are those men
Who Hide
Behind Them.
-------------- UNDERSTAND! --------------
The True Tragedy of Our Gentle Craft
is that it is so Rare a Member
who Truly Understands its Workings.
Admit it!
When you read pirate talk,
your inner reading voice's tone
and inflection changes....

Be Well and Travel Light!
