Random Building Thoughts - 2022-01-04

 

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

-------------- CLARITY --------------

************************************************
-------------- WARNING: -----------------
************************************************ 
 
Clarity
shortens superfluous discourse,
intensifies improved understanding
and diminishes destructive tail-chasing.

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

You belong to a very traditional lodge. 
All Lodge members from previous years are still present, 
all attend regularly, and all are able and available 
to participate now and into the future.
 
The members of your Lodge are upset. 
The incoming WM is planning to appoint someone 
to the position of Tyler 
and this choice breaks with this Lodge's traditions,
 long held by it since time immemorial.
 
The Lodge brings this to the attention of the incoming WM,
they voice their opposition to his choice 
and they express both their dissatisfaction 
and their reasoning behind their dissatisfaction.
 
You witness all of this and stand by supporting them.
 
The WM listens intently, 
agrees with the Lodge and changes his choice, 
fully recognizing the future impacts.
 
 
YOUR TASKS:
 
Respond to the following...
 
1) Who do you think the Lodge believes should be the Tyler?
2) Why do you think the Lodge believes this specific person should be the Tyler?
3) How does making this person the Tyler affect Lodge performance?
 
How do you proceed?

(Hat Tip to Bro. Nick Adair)

-------------- MATURITY --------------

A Grown Boy
is no More a Man
than his Ability
to Maturely Handle Life.
Apply this Ideal
toward the Craft
and you might Begin to see
the Source of most Craft Problems.

For Further Light:
Maturity

 -------------- VICES --------------

At one time,
Alan Watts' writings
had a huge influence in my life...
Nah! ! Who am I kidding...
they still do!
 
 
"If you do not know who Alan Watts is, 
he is one of the very few people I would coin as enlightened."
-- Brother Nicholas Robinson

-------------- NO ROOM --------------

Countless Superfluities
Rule far too many Men
within the Craft.
Lodges Filled by them
have little to no Room
for anything Worthwhile.

  -------------- NEGATIVE ACTIONS  --------------

When you Divest yourself
of Negative Things,
you're Taking Negative Actions
in Positive Directions.

-------------- MATURE HEART --------------

There's a huge difference between
a well educated man
and a well educated boy.
The former has a mature heart.
The latter has yet to subdue his.

For Further Light:
Preparation

 -------------- MYSTERY --------------


(Hat tip to Bro. William Kennard!)
 
For Further Light: 

 -------------- FILED UNDER: Immorality of the Soul --------------

 

FILED UNDER: 

Immorality of the Soul

The Sun Continues to Shine
Long After It Sets. 

-------------- GOD'S GAMES -------------- 

Observe life enough
and you'll find out that
some of God's most favorite games are:
 
1) Role Playing
2) Hide and Seek
3) Knock Knock
4) 1001 Questions
5) Guess what
6) Connect the dots
7) Telephone
8) What if
9) Let's Pretend
10) You're It
 
-------------- PLUG -------------- 


"Light received. 
Knowledge, wisdom, moral lessons, 
and Eureka! 
Moments await. 
So grateful for the opportunity 
to get such a collection."
-- Ian Jagger Gibb-WIlsom, 1/4/2019

 Be Well and Travel Light!
