AN ACCIDENTAL LEGACY

AN ACCIDENTAL LEGACY

LIFE IS REAL ONLY WHEN I AM

Rabbit’s New Face

November 24, 2023

 

Once upon a time, the Unknowable Great Rabbit wished to stir.., to move, perhaps even too dance – and when he felt he had the order and sequence just right…, He scratched that itch!

Bitter Waters

November 8, 2022

It’s.., it’s.. it’s just that then there’d be no need of you to take your shoes off, and the oil of Balsam being so liberally applied, and lathered in particular, would be as wasted as some such Donkey – Work, of a promised – Free Beer Tomorrow!

Soul Train – Part Three

February 5, 2022

If you haven’t noticed by now, it was never an intention of mine through these papers to teach you anything at all, but rather, Nothing. Scented all – tilted and stitched; that you would in fact be inspired to dig – to come to your own understandings as might best suite you in context..,

Soul Train – Part Two

June 4, 2020

Of Genesis, Golem’s, and Magic Mushrooms…  Of Lions and Tigers and Hares, oh my!  Brought to you sideways, as courage allows, by way of the Smoking Rabbit and the Riddle of the Caboose.

Soul Train – Part One

March 5, 2020

I have buried in this book certain bones, so that certain dogs with great curiosity and strong scent may dig down to them and, strange thing, when they have done so, are men”.    – George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

An example is in order I suppose.

The Gallows

October 9, 2019

The Gallows is an attempt to shake loose a few of your I’s by understanding the concept of one pointedness. Along the way is an example or two of the Law of Three in action.

Man Jack – Part 3 of 3

June 23, 2019

 

More on The Victorious Life…  perseverance, parables and other goodies as courage allows. Don’t forget to take your shoes off…

Man Jack – Part 2 of 3

June 14, 2019

Part two relates a conversation I had with Most Worshipful about the Lodge presentation of Man Jack part one. Ruffled a bit as not to bore.

Man Jack – Part 1 of 3

June 8, 2019

This is a three part series somewhat aimed at what it means for Man to keep a promise. The start of my version of a Lodge Mission Statement is also revealed as promised to the Lodge before I departed the Masters chair.

Mercuriophilus Anglicus

December 13, 2017

This paper was at the request of Worshipful Ahmet Erdemir who wished to see our lodge informed of the man who called himself, Mercuriophilus Anglicus. Loosely translated it means the lover of Mercury or more pointedly, one in union with the change agent of transformation.

The Red Violin

August 3, 2017

We take a look under the curtains you might say, of the movie “The Red Violin”. Many miss the esoteric overtones so I have riddled out a few of them for your enjoyment.

The Suicide King

July 6, 2017

We’re going to examine the King of Hearts, AKA The Suicide King, as it has some special mentions to it’s credit that push it to the front for the purposes of our revelations (symbolic interpretation within a system), herein.

Whithersoever Dispersed

September 14, 2016

The title of this paper should be familiar to all Masons at large; however, the meaning derived essentially falls into two general camps or classes of Brethren. For simplicity, we’ll call these two classes the outer and the Inner classes.

Nursery Rhymes & Fairy Tails

August 29, 2016

This was a presentation I gave at one of our Tuesday night meetings. The idea behind this paper is that Truth is contained in all things, whether or not the exposition of Truth was the intent of it’s creator or not.

Ode To Brother Rex

Sixes & Sevens

June 10, 2016

Ok, I’ll admit that this paper comes at you from a place of my many frustrations of late, and pre- vious. I’ve been somewhat at Sixes and Sevens you might say and needed a good shock or jolt to get me to the next level.

Theresa’s

May 19, 2016

A Mothers Day Poem –

The key to this poem is given away by the above illustration and found in the line, “Our daily bread”.

See Pater Noster

Pater Noster

February 11, 2016

I won’t bore you with the details but… this paper didn’t come about because I carefully choose it’s contents. But rather, as before, the paper founda way despite the roadblocks of my own short comings to make it’s way among you.

The Caduceus

September 8, 2014

Caduceus is the name given to a number of different symbolic wands, first appearing in ancient Mesopotamian cultures around 2600 BC. This paper is the basis for a later Fairy Tale styled paper entitled, Rabbit’s New Face.

 

Abstractly Forgotten

July 31, 2014

Again, I have shunned the familiar organization of the essay. I have not plainly told you what it is I’m going to tell you, if fact, I may not even tell you that which I intend.

A Man And His Dog

May 22, 2014

I wrote this poem years ago, when Roxy and I took morning walks together. There are some experiences that are almost impossible to relay to others that have not had the experience, this is one of them.

Adobe XLI Bolo

May 18, 2014

This is a conceptual drawing of a Lodge bolo for Adobe Lodge 41. The main design elements are the 10 bulls of Qigong, Alchemy, Kabbalah, G, Latin motto, checkered floor. There will be some colored enameling with significance as well. I’ll update this post with new photo’s as the project continues.

Peculiar Masonry

March 26, 2014

What a peculiar start to a Masonic paper. But peculiar is as peculiar does, in context. And this point, the point of context, is what I would most like to illustrate at the start so that at some future point we may come back to this most peculiar start and close out this most peculiar paper, in a most peculiar way.

Imaginary Godness

August 6, 2013

But alas, there is no need of soft flesh in hard places, nor of caution or forethought when eating deboned fish. And now I fear, I may do you wrong by tossing out the hard bone pitcured above, fresh with the ginned marrow of my words, wherein the soft flesh as comes well recommend, is not promised.

Conceptual Magic

April 6, 2013

This paper is the third and final in a series of papers written on the topic of the Three Great Lights of Freemasonry. As usual, much is left out in a short work dealing with concepts couched, by and in, hard words. However, it is my hope that this paper snuggles gently upon your sensibilities, while lightly stirring your reflective demarcations.

Mission Impossible

November 5, 2012

This my second attempt at a Fellowcraft paper in which the topic for discussion was to be the Three Great Lights of Freemasonry. This paper outlines an attempt at divining a new mission statement for our Traditional Observance Lodge using a biblimancy technique by way of the Tarot.

In Between The Lines

L’Enfant Terrible – Presentation

November 2, 2012

This is the presentation piece for the paper, “Flight Of The Crow”. It was written to expound and lead one into the manifold significations of words as pertains to esoteric thought.

Flight Of The Crow

November 2, 2012

I had a great time writing this paper, at least I’m sure I must have, as I’ve been accused of writing it for myself instead of a hoped for audience. This paper most likely won’t go down as my best work, although for me, it’s gonna be a long time favorite.

In A Brothers Midst

October 31, 2012

This particular bit of writing was inspired after receiving some unfavorable feedback on my first Entered Apprentice paper. Well…, that and the mead soaked planks under my feet at the Shriners Temple.

The Finer Dust

October 30, 2012

This is a very personal poem for me as it represents an actual experience I had just after covering over Bo’s grave. For those of you who question the presence of our loved ones after passing, I have no doubt. Bo spoke and gave me this WORD, a message, for her Mom.

Begging For My Kisses

October 30, 2012

Not long now till I’m living the married life! I wrote this poem thinking about married life and the journey it represents.

Ontological Balderdash

October 30, 2012

Wrote this late night rant just for the fun of it after a paper, “A Most Pregnant Pause”, was not accepted because it wasn’t a referenced paper.

I still think there’s something to be said for not writing referenced papers as it colours your thoughts as well as the readers. Anyway, just a fun late night rant to light my smiles amongst the shade.

Haunted Man Trinity – EA Paper Presentation

October 30, 2012

A presentation / speech, on the second of two papers needed for the Entered Apprentice degree work at Adobe Lodge #41. I can only hope that you, my reader, will get past any stylistic shadings and grab onto a gem or two within.

Hanged Man Trinity

October 29, 2012

 

A previous post, Haunted Man Trinity was the presentation crafted to enhance this particular work in which I explain the perfect points of entrance in terms of Virtue or power to do, by way of resistance.

A Most Pregnant Pause

July 30, 2012

A-Most-Pregnant-Pause500

This, my second Entered Apprentice paper (rough draft only), which I really liked, was rejected as a submission for my requirements as it was not considered a researched paper. Alas, maybe I’ll clean it up one day and present it after I make my grade.

Buddy’s Forever

July 30, 2012

 

I wrote this poem with the thought of true love in mind as Buddy has never shown me anything less.

Etched Upon Thy Cheek..

June 15, 2012

etched500

Many are those that said they understood my pain and gave advice on how to move on after my dog “Roxy” passed away. I always smiled and nodded to be polite.  I published this poem in hope it may help another poor soul, nod and smile, through all the well intentioned but mis-guided advice.

Fair And Enticing Words

May 15, 2012

Chydog500x648

Fair And Enticing Words…  The first of two papers needed for the Entered Apprentice degree work at Adobe Lodge #41.

DO NOT READ IF YOU EVER INTEND TO EXPERIENCE THE CHAMBER!!

The lodge is a traditional observance lodge and as such employs the use of “The Chamber Of Reflection” just before initiation. All new members are required to relate their experience in the chamber…
