Random Building Thoughts - 2023-09-15


-------------- HUMOR --------------  
 
 
 ...without any equivocation...

For Further Light:
Getting It!

-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
 
(Excerpt from a thread...)

Brother:
Too many Cowans

Me:
... I'm not too concerned about Cowans. 
The Craft is filled with them 
and they are good men; 
they simply do not want 
to Square their Stones 
or create Cement to spread around. 
 I'm far more concerned with the Ruffians, 
who want more than they have earned 
and are willing to be uncivil to get it.

For Further Light:

-------------- CHALLENGE -------------- 
 
 
As I watched  "Shakespeare In Love" the other day 
and I was amused by the Patron 
who was financing the play 
and who wanted to be a character 
written within that same play. 
 
It's pretty clear 
by the way our organization is structured 
that our fraternity 
carries on this tradition to this day.
 
My research question is: 
 
Was it very common to have a person 
financially support a play 
and also have a character part written into the play 
for that person to play that part? 
 
If you have any links that support this, 
please share them. 
 
Any historical examples?
 
 -------------- PREPARED --------------
 

A Rarely Accepted Reality Too
It is the FC Work that Prepares Brothers' Minds 
to Become Masons. Without that Work, 
You're Ill-Prepared to Build Your Mind Further.
 
 -------------- MASONIC DIRECTION --------------  
 

Never take Masonic direction 
from someone who can't read Freemasonic Maps.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- LEMMING CRAFT -------------- 
  
 
 

-------------- BEWARE! -------------- 
 
 
 AMEN!
 
-------------- SHUNNERS -------------- 
   
 
 
There shall always Exist 
those men who do not Want to Hear and See 
and who make every Effort to Conceal 
from others the Reality they Wish to Shun.
 
 -------------- ATTRIBUTE -------------- 
 
 
 Age may Eventually Occur, 
but Maturity is an Absent Attribute 
in far too many.
 
-------------- JUST DO IT! --------------
 

Keep Calm and Do the Work.

For Further Light:
 
-------------- MYTH --------------  

"I think of mythology 
as the homeland of the muses, 
the inspirers of art, 
the inspirers of poetry. 
 
To see life as a poem 
and yourself participating in a poem
 is what the myth does for you."
-- Joseph Campbell,
The Power of Myth 
with Bill Moyers
 
-------------- DELIVERY --------------  

 
 
Don't ever Complain 
about Bullet Shaped Gold 
coming Quickly at you. 
A Valuable Delivery Sometimes
 has to Hurt to Get Noticed.
 
-------------- TRAVEL -------------- 
 
 
 
 Because, 
the Truth be Told, 
We'd Rather Travel Hardly
 than Hardly Travel.
 
-------------- PURSUITS -------------- 
  
 
 
 
It's not about the Bones; It's about a man's Grasp.
It's not about the Title; It's about a man's Mastery.
It's not about a man's Word; It's about a man's Integrity.
It's not about the Word; It's about a man's Pursuits.
 
-------------- SUBSTITUTE -------------- 
    

So, I'm a Master Mason 
and all I have is a Substitute?   
 
How long will it take
for you to have 
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
