Miss the Mark
Failure can be difficult to deal with.
Sometimes we end up "missing the mark."
But if we do not accept our failures, how can we ever learn from them?

Need More Time
"Brother Kent R. Member has forgotten his line!"
Why do we not give brethren enough time to remember their ritual, before someone shouts it out?

Ineffable Silence
Q: What does "ineffable" mean?
A: ...and the Word of the Master is written on the ashlar walls, and temple halls, and in the sounds of silence.

Exclusivity - Go Lean
"Exclusivity is prime, and Masonry is losing that as Grand Lodges pursue the drive for more members, to keep antiquated budgets and programs afloat.
My two-cents: Go lean.
If it doesn't support Masons and improving the Masonic experience it is needless and needs to go away."

King Nothing
Hey! Do you guys remember when Metallica warned us about what would happen if our motives to become Master were for power?
Careful what you wish.
Careful what you say.
Careful what you wish, you may regret it.
Careful what you wish, you just might get it!
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger,
but there's no one around
Just want one thing, Just to play the King
But the castle crumbled
and you're left with just a nam
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
- Metallica, King Nothing, Load 1996

Snow White
The allegory of the "poisoned apple" given to the young maiden by the old woman, is the corruption of innocence by the party with an agenda hidden within a seemingly mundane gift.
Can you think of other areas in our lives we are given "poisoned apples?"
