B ALANCE

Balance is at the core of Masonry. We learn personal balance from the rule which teaches us to make time for our jobs, our families, those in need and also ourselves. The Cardinal Virtue Temperance also reminds us of personal balance as does the level. We learn to appreciate balance in the world around us by our

study of Geometry which reveals the ultimate equilibrium or harmony found in Nature. Personal balance improves our likelihood of success in our quest for self-improvement because we then have made time for observation, reflection, hypothesis and testing, requites in the self-improvement process. Our appreciation of balance as characteristic of Nature increases our confidence that our Masonic journey is headed in the right direction and will ultimately produce personal enrichment.
