BEING TOUCHED BY MASONRY

Education gives us the tools needed to articulate thought. It is not exclusive but education brings vocabulary with meanings into our bearing. The exchange of ideas is enriched by our use of words. As soon as we think we grasp one meaning, we find context changes understanding, as does intent. Words have more than one meaning. Weclome us masonry where the individual is transformed into a lodge, where ethics prevail.  Our collective is where optics are impactful; where being and seeing each other turned out in-kind, reinforces our place in a grand ordered way of thinking and being. It is where we entertain the skeptic and stoic; where enthusiasm is examined for clouding thinking. The product of self-awareness is graphic. Looking at influences mixes guilt with truth. outside the popular ways, looking in, is not to everyone's taste. Challenge after challenge, we learn once an idea is assimilated, we need to find evidence it exists and is valid. Aha, moments. Something stops when that happens. All doubt that one person is insignificant fades away. We learn to value the potential of a social contract. Thanks Rousseau.
