Random Building Thoughts - 2023-06-30

 

  -------------- WAYFARING -------------- 
 

There's no small coincidence a wayfaring man 
is part of ritual (at least in some parts of the USA)!
 
-------------------------
 
Wayfaring (verb)
 
1) To travel, especially by foot
2) Wayfaring - Traveling, especially moved purposefully by one's own physical, intellectual, emotional and/or spiritual efforts.
 
"A wayfarer is a traveler, especially one who travels on foot."
 
* [Root] O.E. wegfarende; see way + fare (v.).
* way (n.) O.E. weg "road, path, course of travel," from P.Gmc. *wegaz (cf. O.S., Du. weg, O.N. vegr, O.Fris. wei, O.H.G. weg, Ger. Weg, Goth. wigs "way"), from PIE *wegh- "to move" (see weigh).
* fare (n.) O.E. fær "journey, road, passage, expedition," strong neut. of faran "to journey"; merged with faru "journey, expedition, companions, baggage," strong fem. of faran. Original sense is obsolete, except in compounds (wayfarer, sea-faring, etc.) Meaning "food provided" is c.1200; that of "conveyance" appears in Scot. early 15c. and led to sense of "payment for passage" (1510s).
* fare (v.) O.E. faran "to journey, set forth, go, travel, wander, get on, undergo, make one's way," from P.Gmc. *faranan (cf. O.S., O.H.G., Goth. faran, O.N., O.Fris. fara, Du. varen, Ger. fahren), from PIE *por- "going, passage," from root *per- "to lead, pass over". Related: Fared; faring.

-------------- TRAVELING EAST --------------  


A Brother Asks:  
As we start our day in the West, 
can you explain the significance 

 -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------  
 

 -------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 
 
Masters see things 
plain as day 
while others less trained 
call these things "esoteric".  

 -------------- INSIGHT --------------  
 

Yup! And some of those who cannot see 
that Beauty is clearly before them 
eventually kill it 
and Bury it in Rubbish.
 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 

A FEW GOOD MEN
Already Available at a Lodge Near You.
Can You Handle The Light?

 
-------------- TRADITION --------------  


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

 Masonry is a Territory 
Where the Arts and Sciences 
of Making Good Men Better 
is Explored, Practiced and Perfected. 
 
Freemasonry Offers Territorial Maps.
 
-------------- LOST --------------   
 
 
What Some Men Reveal Themselves to be 
when they Proclaim that were Given 
"The Lost Word". 
Pray that they See the True Nature
 of their Folly.
 
-------------- GOALS --------------  
 
 
Are you goaling 
or just dreaming?
 
-------------- RECREATIONS --------------  
 

Youroboros
 
There shall arise from the dust of earth 
another you to whom God 
shall Breathe into the same thoughts and feelings 
that you experience in this lifetime. 
This has already occurred; 
the evidence is before you
 should you dare to see. 
 
Furthermore, this shall reoccur 
countless times into your futures 
as it has already occurred many times in your pasts. 
 
God's Universe recreates endlessly 
for your souls are immortal 
and require such recreation. 
 
What legacies were left for you by all your other yous? 
 
What legacy shall this you leave your future yous? 
 
Are you not the least bit interested in exploring 
and deploying your legacies?
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 

“When you realize that eternity
 is right here now, 
that it is within your possibility 
to experience the eternity of your own truth and being,
 then you grasp the following: 
That which you are was never born and will never die.”
Joseph Campbell,  
Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

-------------- RUFFIAN --------------  


 -------------- CHANGE --------------  
 

When you want Change, 
Make Sure you have a Clear Vision 
of What It Looks like or 
What you Support 
May not Support you!
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
