Random Building Thoughts - 2023-09-14

 

-------------- HUMOR --------------  

 
You'll not see anyone who is genuine 
go from Immature to Mature in an instant. 
It takes Work, 
and this Work cannot be done quickly. 
If you're looking for an enlightenment shortcut, 
Masonic Work is not it, 
although it'll get you there more directly 
than wandering in the wilderness 
unguided.

For Further Light:

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

 -------------- CHALLENGE --------------  


Ritual is Too Often 
a Smorgasbord of Nourishment 
never Eaten by Starving men 
Who can't Recognize the Feast 
Laid out Before them.
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 

 
The Lodge of the Rings
The Two Columns
Available Locally
Dare to Walk Between Them!

 
 -------------- PRIVILEGED --------------  
 

 "The more I am privileged to learn 
the more I realize I don't know."
-- Bro. John Keytack
 
-------------- FAITH! -------------- 
 

An oldie but goodie!
 
-------------- THEY KNOW! -------------- 
 
 
Average Men 
KNOW that there's more to Ritual 
than is Typically Offered. 
 
They also Accept that 
they must go Elsewhere 
to Find out What that is. 
 
Change their Experiences! 
Offer More! 
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  
 
 
 "What we are really living for 
is the experience of life, 
both the pain and the pleasure. 
The world is a match for us. 
We are a match for the world."
-- Joseph Campbell,
A Joseph Campbell Companion: 
Reflections on the Art of Living
 
-------------- GRASP --------------  
 
 
The Raising 
is not About the Bones! 
 It's about a Man's Grasp. 
Is it only Superficial 
or, at best, hold only to what 
is just Below the Surface? 
Or does it Rob From the Grave 
the Very Core of Beauty 
and Raise It Up for all to See?
 
-------------- NO? -------------- 
 
 
When any Brother Claims 
There are no Innovations
 to Craft Ritual Workings.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- GRAMMAR -------------- 
    
Son: Dad, I'm increasing my mass 
with all this weight training.
 
Me: Neat! Ya know... 
I knew a 50 pound midget 
who worked out so much, 
he had 25 pound balls.
 
Son: Dad, that's crazy!
 
Me: You're telling me! 
The guy was half nuts.
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
