Greetings from the East,

Awaited still, eagerness persists causing the winter as an endless pursuit, humanity suffers in anticipation & want of new possibilities of nature's renewal. Such was a dream of a fellow Freemason Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist who invented the battery in the year 1800. We are looking at a finer measure of using bio-degradable electrodes in modern battery and mobile charging methods not limited to the piezoelectric effect where energy is produced just by mechanical pressure on elements which we were studying in the 1900s. Dismal is the fortune of our generations that we look for a higher conduit after sunset to renew our digital lives, and charge our device battery; oh so essential. Freemasons are seekers who spread the findings for everyone's use free of cost. The phenomenon of sending a packet of electric charge as a wifi or LED-based LIFI signal must be one of such freebies that humans can use to free themselves. Wires or no wires, nomads will turn into decent travelers where there will be no crime or theft. Eagerness persists, while it is still awaited.

In the long run, the sword is always beaten by the mind - Napoleon Bonaparte (a Freemason)

With the budget already presented, the accounting books are being delved into for taxes and general upkeep of the official matters in full swing. What do we do without Brother Secretary & Treasure is all we judge ourselves against. No wonder they are gearing ahead for their retreat before we plan to settle for youth orders month of March. We have already started practicing for degrees and our brothers are wholeheartedly joining in full swing by pleasuring the food prepared by our chef Ali every Thursday who is a prospect and helping around where he can. The monthly checks on brothers accepting new roles in the future are going on along with their proficiency & certifications for the next degrees and roles. However most couldn't make it but so far about 4 brothers might be going to our masonic cruise scheduled for a Mexican getaway on the 26th of Jan, 2024. Once we are back in time for the next stated meeting in February, gearing ahead for at least 3 proficiencies and an influx of degrees our hearts and minds will Masonically say in unison, is it spring already?
