From the East

By Andrew Hawes —Master

September is cool.

I love when the fall arrives.

But out here, it’s HOT!

My fall article:

This month,

I share with you all

A set of haikus.

This month’s anecdote:

Treat other people the same

As you’d treat yourself.

Reoccurring theme?

Yes, I frequently mention

That we should be good.

Thoughts are not actions.

Deeds carry more weight than words.

Act on your good thoughts.

Do you like to laugh?

Everyone enjoys a laugh.

Make others laugh, too.

“Help other people.”

It’s not hard to remember.

Just five syllables.

An act that is kind

Costs you no more energy

Than one that is not.

People all deserve

A kind word and helping hand-

Not just those you know.

So go forth, I charge:

Think good, be good, and do good.

Live your Masonry.
