The primary lesson of the Tesselated Floor is not just that good and evil exist, but how we should walk among them.

Just as the floor is level, a Mason is taught to remain level-headed regardless of whether they are currently standing on a "black" or "white" square of fate.

Without the black squares, the white squares would have no definition. We cannot truly appreciate the "good" in our lives without having experienced the "evil" or the difficult.

Surrounding the pavement is often the Indented Tessel, a multicolored border. This represents the various blessings and comforts that surround us, reminding us that even in a world of dualities, there is a divine symmetry and protection.

The Mosaic Pavement teaches us that while we cannot control the "color" of the square we find ourselves on today, we can control the steadiness of our step as we walk across them. It encourages a life of moderation, where one is neither over.. elated by prosperity nor dejected by misfortune.

(The Grace Behind the Craft)

She walks a quieter path,
carrying love, patience, and understanding with grace.

While he labors in the quarry of self-improvement,
she keeps the light burning at home,
with patience, understanding, and unwavering faith.

She shares in the late nights, the early calls,
and the sacrifices few ever see and fewer still understand.
In her strength, he finds balance.
In her support, he finds purpose.

Behind every Master Mason
stands a woman whose love helps shape not only the man,
but the home from which his virtues grow.

🕊️ To the silent strength of our homes—thank you.


Thank you to the ladies in our lives the help us along our travels
