There is a place within your heart
where only you can go
and no one else can follow
This is your sanctuary, your temple
The place where you find illumination
and healing
Where wisdom dwells, and love inspires
By going into this space
you step into the Cosmic
where you are connected to All That Is
A gift for you
A place to start, and a place to end your searching
You are not here to find your path
You are here to remember who you are
In his poetry, David Whyte tells us that every arrival is a departure, and every departure an arrival. As I step into the role of Regional Monitor, I am leaving the role of simply being a member of AMORC and a pronaos. I now embrace the role of a regional officer for AMORC, with its accompanying duties and responsibilities to oversee a wider endeavor, a task I accept with both trepidation and with love. Much is expected of me, and much will be given. I look to the Cosmic, to the support and guidance of Grand Lodge, and to my fellow fraters and sorors to help me make this experience a beneficent one for all of us.
I pledge to be the best representative and servant of Grand Lodge, AMORC, and the Colorado Region and its members as I can.
So mote it be.
Ed Hanson, Regional Monitor Colorado Region
