DREAMER MADE REAL

Self-development is not for everyone.  Those faced with hunger and danger, experience existential immediacy. Self-development may be a lesser notion. What is important to your existence? That is a question for the ages. If.  Metaphorically, we seem unable to stand up for low aspirations. In our context, we are surrounded by people who left totalitarian conditions attracted by a culture where rule of law prevails.Predictable, articulated standards of living and coexistence, able and willing to defend. Where accountability failed we experienced shameful violations of human rights. But in this land- we fix.  And we enjoy a good life. One needs to be intelligent to be interested and engaged to contribute and benefit.  And within that framework, a sub-culture has existed, one focused thoughts of liberty, equality, and justice prepared to activate. Working together for common purpose, we remain shrewdly apolitical, understated activists. When we do not know what to say to fools, we say nothing.  Provocateurs find little benefit poking at us. Muscular discussion is met with indifference. Disciplined self-control is an unassailable threshold.  Silence cannot be broken. 

Nuanced acts of charity, thinking big, acting smallscale breaks out spontaneously, serving a need of our partners here on this journey through life.  Bringing light into darkness, that is masonry.
