Thoughts on White Eagle

I am writing this on the train coming back from our Ipswich Lodge for a Retreat Day this Sunday on the theme of White Eagle and His Work of Brotherhood Down the Ages. Our Lodge there, (the heart of what we now call our East Anglia Regional Centre) is one of our oldest established Centres. As I went into their beautiful sanctuary I felt immediately the amazing power of the light, generated by the dedication of all who have served there down the years, but also a touching purity. They really love White Eagle and what his teaching has brought into their lives, and this touched my heart deeply.
We began our day together reflecting on all the qualities everyone felt White Eagle and his philosophy had brought into their lives. We looked at his portrait—his lovely twinkling eyes, and smiling face and shared what we felt. Here is our list which I hope you enjoy contemplating. Maybe you have other qualities to add to it?

Gentleness
Love
Strength
Wisdom
Compassion and Understanding
Humour
Simplicity
Clarity and purity of language
Humility
Naturalness / down to earth
Practical
Non-judgemental
Grace and serenity
Openness
Eternal Truth
Patience/encouragement
Faith
Far sightedness
Trust

Threads of all world religions.
