My Brother,
Hope your summer has been enjoyable and all is well with you and your family. I am frequently reminded of the great fraternity to which we all belong by the most ordinary aspects of everyday life. I’m sure it happens to you. I’ll be walking along and out of the blue some apropos line from our ritual will pop into my head. Eureka, I’ve found it! One of my favorites,of the dozens that mysteriously and spontaneously appear on a daily basis, “the internal and not the external qualifications of a man recommend him to Masonry”. The wisdom of the ages, the Bible, the Bill of Rights all in a nutshell. Get involved, keep it going!
