Friendship

With the coming of the annual "masonic dark time", I sometimes sit around and reflect on what I have done with myself in regards to Masonry.

This year is no different except that this year I am saddened by the loss of friendship that the Order has brought to me. I Think of those members who were active when I was raised and wonder about the changing people that are their now as opposed to then. Some of them have moved on to new cities, lodeges and some to their final resting place. But, I never seem to not have that friendship from all my brothers, regardless of being new or old.

So as I sit here in my basement office I feel anxious for the start of the masonic meetings, even just the regular business meetings. I look forward to being back with my brothers, those who in some respects have become closer to me that even my own siblings.
