Dead Parrot Masonry

He’s not pinin’! He’s passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed him to the perch he’d be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, He’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!!

Maturity

Maturity comes with effort and experience...

...not age.

Are you making your experience worth the effort?

Unity cannot exist with division.

Don't let divisiveness control your heart and mind.
