A BROTHERHOOD ALWAYS AT THE EVENT HORIZON

No doubt many have accepted the evidence that the idea of a global community is aan impossibility. Optimists tell us there is good in everyone. Druids or indigenous peoples refered to a connection with the spirits that inhabit all living things; rivers and streams, trees and plans, all creatures and the stars. Why not this creature- humans?  Is reality a persception of choices we make or an externality? Set those notions aside for a moment and consider how confusing it could be to validate our idea of common purpose, of peace and harmony, of agape.  What would happen to a healthy person if we subjected them to constant messages of suffering and aggression and censored acts that inspired and validated the brotherhood notion?  Cynicism? Masonry may well be the looming rabbit hole that we jump into where truth, fact and reality are more than imaginary.  Lewis Carroll gave us "Why, sometimes I have thought 6 impossible things before breakfast".  As he glided down a glassy river with a friend and the three young daughters of his much respected Dean at Christs Church, the little girls begged for a story. Later one asked him to write it down- is there a serious message in the fantasy? Is it so impossible to consider a Brotherhood of good people, strangers alike from far and distant places, who look and sound different who enjoy the most amazing tastes in food, could be hidden from view by their forced invisibility?  Are you and I so mature we suppress imagination? A Brotherhood of men by different mothers? Not so impossible for the likes of discerning Masons are we have here. We may be invisible to the world, but the idea of masonry definity exists. We may be misunderstood at times and seem absorbed in a fantastical world of symbols,ritual, philosophy, and fraternity. Our rhythm and pace is not always in sync but even as we stumble, we always move forward.
