Greetings from the East!
Summer has arrived, and with it, longer days and a chance to catch our breath. Whether you’re spending time with family, traveling, or just enjoying a quiet evening on the porch, I hope you’re all finding time to reflect and recharge.
Also this month, we celebrate Father’s Day, which always makes me think about the importance of guidance in our lives from the men who helped shape us. Not just our fathers, but also mentors, teachers, or even other Brothers in the Craft. Let’s take a moment to honor them too and recognize the same role we play for others. As Masons, we are to be pillars for people look to, not just for words, but for steady presence and quiet leadership. It’s a responsibility, but also a privilege.
June also brings with it the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. More light in the sky and within ourselves. I like to think of it as a reminder to keep in focus the Light we all swore to pursue. Not just the knowledge we gain in lodge, but the understanding and clarity we bring into our daily lives.
Even though we’ll take a break from Stated Communications for the Summer. We’ve still got a busy and meaningful month ahead. We’ll be conferring the MM degree to Brother Jason Keeler on June 7th at Nevada 4 Lodge, and I encourage as many of you as possible to come out and support him. Also, several Brothers are planning to visit Idaho Springs #26 on June 18th. Lastly, Ruby Hill Park has been chosen for the Summer Picnic on June 22nd, so we’ll look forward to seeing you there.
Let’s all take care of ourselves, enjoy the season and warm weather, and never hesitate to reach out to a Brother—whether you need a hand, a coffee, or just someone to talk to. That’s what we are here for.
Fraternally and appreciatively,
Stephen Carlson
Worshipful Master
Denver Lodge No.5
