Random Building Thoughts - 2023-09-11


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

Don't laugh, this could be you soon enough.

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


 -------------- ORDER --------------  
 
 
Masonry - 
Finding and Bringing 
Order to Every Day Chaos.
 
-------------- CHARACTER --------------  
 

  
 You can claim your Compasses 
are used to Circumscribe your behavior, 
but until you do the Work required to Establish
 a Standard whereby you Maintain Civil Limits 
Governing your overall behavior, 
especially when dealing with others, 
you're dishonoring this Working Tool 
and those who handed it to you 
and discrediting yourself with lies. 
 
-------------- IMPROVE --------------
 
 
 The Improvement of a Lodge Building 
Improves that Lodge Building.
The True Improvement of Just One Member 
Improves the Craft.
 
 -------------- DEEP! --------------  
 

HIRAM ABYSS
Where Light Goes In But Nothing Comes Out
 
-------------- DEEPER --------------  
 
 
 Hiram Abyss: 
A Brother who Can't Fathom 
the Depth of his Ignorance. 
 
 -------------- BECOME --------------  
 

It's not What we Were,
It's What we Become!
 
-------------- FOCUS -------------- 
 
  
Take Care in Choosing 
upon What you Hang your Plumb Line. 
Although it shall not Guide it, 
it shall Dictate your Focus.
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  

“The job of an educator 
is to teach students
 to see vitality in themselves”
― Joseph Campbell
 
"What is the 'meaning' of a tree? 
of a butterfly? of the birth of a child? or of the universe? 
What is the 'meaning' of the song of the rushing stream? 
Such wonders simply are. 
They are antecedent to meaning, 
\though 'meanings' may be read into them. . . . 
So, likewise, are the images of myth, 
which open like flowers to the conscious mind's amazement 
and may then be searched to the root for 'meaning,'
as well as arranged to serve practical ends."
-- Joseph Campbell, 
"The Flight of the Wild Gander:
 Explorations in the Mythological Dimension
 
Wonderful!
 
-------------- BOGUS --------------  
 
 
Hang your Plumb Line upon Anything that is Bogus,
 and no matter How Straight your Line is, 
it's still Connected to Something that is Bogus.
 
-------------- CHALLENGE -------------- 
 

 
The Challenge 
is not reaching the Mountain's Summit
-- that accomplishment
is proudly worn by many --
it's coming down 
and Reaching those 
who have yet to Travel it.
 
-------------- TIME -------------- 
 
 
Men who don't Value Time 
will Certainly Waste yours 
when Given Opportunity.
 
-------------- WORLD -------------- 
    
 
To Make the World a Much Better Place, 
Make a Much Better World within Yourself.
 
-------------- MAPS -------------- 
 
 
 The Problem that many Brothers Face
 is not that they don't have the necessary Maps 
to Guide them.
 It's that they Truly haven't been 
Properly Taught How To Read Them!
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
