Random Building Thoughts - 2022-01-01

-------------- RIP --------------

May you Masterfully Grasp
the Poorly Buried Bones of this Past Year,

Raise them out of their Rubbish
and Intern them more Suitably
in a Sane Sanctuary of Rest and Honor.

May you Perpend then their Relevance,
Conclude too their finest nuances
and Speculate upon what must Be.

May you Render upon your Trestleboard
only those Grand Designs Worthy of your Efforts,
Securing all good manner of Resource and Attentiveness
and Build your new year Unburdened,
but Virtued with Freedom, Fervency and Zeal.

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

-------------- MYTH --------------

"Throughout the inhabited world,
in all times and under every circumstance,
the myths of man have flourished;
and they have been the living inspiration
of whatever else may have appeared
out of the activities of the human body and mind.
It would not be too much to say
that myth is the secret opening
through which the inexhaustible energies
of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation.
Religions, philosophies, arts,
the social forms of primitive and historic man,
prime discoveries in science and technology,
the very dreams that blister sleep,
boil up from the basic, magic ring of myth."

-- Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces

"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are."

-- Joseph Campbell

Honor the privilege!

-------------- INDICATORS --------------

Masonic Work Civilizes.
You can tell who has done It
by their Civility...
or lack of It!

-------------- MOTIVATION --------------

-------------- RAISED OR RESURRECTED? --------------

-------------- ALLEGORY --------------

-------------- DIG! --------------

It's Truly Easy
to Refer to or to Quote
the Imaginative Conjectures
of any Heavily Invested Brother
Driven to Validate the Created Lore
of Freemasonic Society.
It's Far more difficult
to dig through the Mire
to find the Truth Buried
by its Ruling Ruffians.
DIG!!!
