Integrity

Ash

We are creatures of fire and smoke. There is heat in our passing, light in our presence and we are fed on life itself.

In our wake it is said we leave not but ash, but from that ash comes life that cannot live without the flame.

Learning

I feel that have learned far more from those who I have have had the privilege to lead, than what I have been taught by those I chose to follow.

rest in peace

Why is it when we die the statement is "rest in peace."?

My view;

Life is about change and change is not peaceful. An individual who never knows conflict, challenge, or strife has not lived. We rest in Peace because there is nothing more we can change.

eternal

Two things are eternal. Love and Hate. Love because we constantly seek it, Hate because it is so easy to find.

tools

The Lodge gives us tools.
The Work teaches us their use.
The Brothers help us keep them .
The Use of them is up to us.
