The Working Tools of an e-Mason
I now present you with the working tools of an e-mason....
They are the mouse, the keyboard and the modem.
The mouse is to move within the desktop, the keyboard to input data, and the
modem to publish in cyber space.
But as we are not online as computer nerds, but rather, Free and Accepted or
Speculative e-Masons, we use these tools to obtain more Masonic light and to
show us the true meaning and value of e-Masons.
In this sense, the mouse teaches us to keep within the bounds of the
screen - a square within which we all meet on the level. The keyboard shows
us that communicating will lead us to a better understanding of each other
and the rest of mankind. The modem teaches us that even when we are alone,
or in the most remote part of the globe, we may meet and gain moral
sustenance and support from each other and thus gain more light, from our
Ancient and Honorable Fraternity.
So Mote it Be.
