Random Building Thoughts - 2023-10-04

 

-------------- DO THE MATH -------------- 
 

 
One cannot Reasonably Complain about Dues Raising 
and in the same Breath Complain about 
the Lack of Funds needed to 
Run the Lodge, Make Repairs and Pay its Bills.
 
It is reasonable to expect Brothers 
to do the work to do the math.
 
-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION --------------  
 

-------------- INCULCATE -------------- 
 
 
in·cul·cate (Verb)
 
Definitions

or habit) by persistent instruction.
2. To Teach (someone) an attitude, idea, 
or habit by frequent instruction, repetition 
or admonitions; indoctrinate.
3. To Impress (something) upon the mind of another
 by frequent instruction or repetition.
4. To Influence, Nurture and Mature 
through Persistent Loving Folly.

Etymology
 
1540s, from L. inculcatus, pp. of inculcare "force upon, stamp in, tread down," 
from in- "in" (see in- (2)) + calcare "to tread, press in," from calx (1) "heel." 

 
-------------- HONOR --------------  
 

-------------- LOSS --------------  
  

Stop! 
 
I DON'T want to talk about it!
 
-------------- COVERED! --------------  
 
 
The two Most Important things in Life are:
 
1) What you Do with It 
&
2) Who you're With 
While you're doing It. 
 
 Masons have both covered!
 
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  
 

When you Understand the End-in-Mind 
for Studying the Seven Liberal Arts & Sciences, 
you realize that the Pomegranate 
is an apt Symbolic Representation for Plenty. 
When you don't, 
it's just another weird pitted fruit. 
 
-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  
 
  
The Magnificent Seven
They Taught Like Seven Hundred!
From the West to the East
Do you know them?
  
 -------------- HOLY DAY --------------  
 

"Masonic Practice makes every day 
a Holy Day; 
an Endless and Universal 
Adoration of Deity."
-- Coach Jon Sage 
 
-------------- SEEK IT! -------------- 
 

 Seek the Light 
Beyond the Clouds.
 
-------------- AWESOME WAYS -------------- 
 
 
Masonry is Perhaps 
One of the Most Awesome Ways 
to Praise God without getting Bogged Down 
by Religious or Political Dogmas.
 
-------------- WHEN? --------------
 
 
When was it that you first Realized 
your Cave Wall Surrender? 
When did you first want to be Released?
 
-------------- MYTH --------------   
 
 
 
“With the moon walk, 
the religious myth that sustained these notions 
could no longer be held. 
With our view of earthrise, 
we could see that the earth 
and the heavens were no longer divided 
but that the earth is in the heavens. 
(105)”
Joseph Campbell,  
Thou Art That: 
Transforming Religious Metaphor 
 
-------------- TRAVEL WELL! --------------  
 

 
The More I Travel Well, 
the More Well-Rounded 
I Realize I Become.
 
For Further Light:
 
-------------- WOE! -------------- 
 
 
Woe to he 
who looks not below the superficial veils 
put forth by those who depend 
upon his complacency.
 
-------------- COMPASSION -------------- 
    

WWSD?
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
