MASONRY: THE ANECDOTE FOR ANGST

As lumpy as discovery! This is a fair description of the way masonry absorbs half-lives.  Half-lives are those with potential unexpressed; incomplete, unexplored, a mind unfulfilled. It is where the secrets of the heart find safe harbour, as much as studio as a laboratory where the unchained mind finds comfort.  Dogma doesn't do well in this environment. Where we find thoughtful masons aware a calculus does exist but may not be understood or rarely acknowledged. Even approaching this level of understanding is complicated. Being a fan of music, you already no the best arrangements begin with the introduction that takes us gently to the moment when the music is right. Atmosphere matters.  The props, the costumes, the setting, the build-up of anticipation comes pours through ceremony and ritual. Attention to detail describes for us effort worthy of the Craft or effort that settles around a lesser standard. Overly sensitive boys wasted much of their early years troubled by honesty. True Masonry is a gentle, thoughtful perfect mentorship, where we discover a feeling of support and honest confirmation.  For many of us this is a familiar but rare experience. This is we commit to improvement without self-consciousness. We leave praise behind and replace it with encouragement.  And the work itself begins in the privacy of your heart. Audi, Vide, Tace
