Here’s a lecture topic that’s near and dear to my heart: “The Mosaic Pavement and the Chessboard: A Lesson for Life.” It’s not that I know what W. Bro. Massoud El Baini is going to say, but we chess players have to stick together. (Chess players are a little loco in the cabeza. And chess-playing Freemasons? God help us.)
But on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. (New York time), something called the Masonic Circle will open a meeting online. Thirty minutes later, Bro. Massoud will begin his presentation. From the publicity:
The mosaic pavement and the chessboard have a lot in common. They teach life lessons that go beyond time, space, and matter as they are universal in their content. They remain valid in all times and in all societies. As a professional chess player since 1997, W. Bro. Massoud El Baini will take us on a journey on the chessboard to meet the pieces. During 40 minutes, we will live their adventures and learn the messages they convey to us, although in complete silence.
With all our different backgrounds, traditions, and languages, we will live the chess motto, “We are one people,” same as we do in our lodges.
Attendance is free, but register in advance here.
