Random Building Thoughts - 2024-02-22

 

    

-------------- BE THEM! -------------- 
 
 
Be the Very Tools 
you were Shown to Use!
 
Each of the Working Tools 
are symbolic reminders to Masons.  
They each represent life supporting disciplines 
that enrich the lives of those 
who recognize, understand, and internalize them.  
When a mason internalizes
what each Working Tool represents, 
those disciplines become a part of their being, 
benefiting both himself and all he serves.  

In doing so, he becomes the very Working Tool, 
those disciplines, 
that these symbols represent.

 -------------- WORKING TOOLS! -------------- 
 

 The 11 EA Working Tools!
 
 -------------- HECATOMBS -------------- 
 
 
Masonic Hecatombs 
Provide no bull to its Participants
 yet all go away Well-Satisfied.
 
For Further Light:
 

  -------------- SHADOWS -------------- 
 
 
The Shadows Men Create 
Within Their Hearts...
... Prevent Them From Seeing 
the Light They Seek.
 
 -------------- PSA -------------- 
 
  
You are both the message 
and the messenger.
When you dislike either, 
there's much more to consider.
 
-------------- HUMOR --------------
 
 
And, for our Meeting's Educational spot tonight, 
we shall have an overly zealous Past Master 
Brow Beat our Attending Brothers
 on the Virtues of 
 Brow Beating back to meetings 
our absent members.
 
 -------------- ARTS & SCIENCES -------------- 
 
 
 -------------- LOOK AHEAD! -------------- 
 
 
Wakes tell you 
Where you have Been, 
not Where you are Going. 
Men who Pilot themselves 
based Solely upon their Wakes,
 and those of Others,
 Limit their Vision
 in Dangerous Ways.  
 
   -------------- PROVIDE! -------------- 
 
 
"I never teach my pupils;
 I only attempt
 to provide the conditions
 in which they can learn."  
-- Albert Einstein
 
 -------------- NO RUSH! -------------- 
 
 
There's only one Box 
you must stay in; 
don't rush to get yourself 
into it
 
  -------------- DISTURBING FORCE -------------- 
 

 And now... a little "Forced Humor"...
 (Hat tip to Bro. Kevin C Livingston!)
 
 -------------- END -------------- 
  
 Be Well and Travel Light!
