All
the crisis going through nations always derive from denials of justice and from
a wrong balance of rights and duties.
Each
time women are allowed to speak out, a revolution arises, a progressive and
peaceful one.
Our
differences make us richer, they cannot drive us apart but, on the contrary, they
must unite us. Our goal is to put together what is scattered, and according to
the principles of Free Masonry to achieve unity in diversity.
All
these stars, from the most beautiful to the humblest, have the same importance,
just like each human being, who is unique, has inside her/his part of light.
In
these days, when society is drawn more and more by private profits and tends to
individualism verging on selfishness, wishing to develop projects which can
only exist thanks to common will and everybody’s commitment, without lucrative
or profane goal is something nearing utopia.
We repeat
that women’s inferiority is not a fact of nature, it is a human invention, a
social fiction.
Creative civilizations have always been
civilizations of meeting points of different traditions, enlightenment comes
when ideas collide.
In
our obedience, the image of one link in the chain is very specific, very
egalitarian because it stresses solidarity, the work of each and all of us and
their responsibility in the common task.
The September 11th tragedy urges us to face
ourselves closely, to surpass ourselves in the capacity to hold out against the
horror and our declared enemy: blind fanaticism. The wave of emotion and discouragement
must be overcome by the will to go on keeping up our humanistic ideal.
Let
our work be plenty of drive and confidence, critical mind and vigilance, wittiness
and good mood.
A
woman free mason could be described as having her feet on the ground, love in
her heart and her head in the stars.
