About This Product
The Measure calls to mind the 24" gauge, the cabletow, the trowel, and the three degrees of the Craft, and treats each one as an instrument to use rather than a symbol to admire. It is a physical object designed to be held, moved through, and returned to, because the work of the hands gives structure to the work of the mind.
Use it at the end of the day, before a difficult conversation, or whenever your attention feels scattered.

Three Exercises
Exercise 1
The Measure: Time
Move your thumb and forefinger across each segment slowly. Each segment represents a portion of your day. Recall how your time was spent, and simply note it without judging. Then consider where your time was deliberately chosen and where it was surrendered by default.
Exercise 2
The Measure: Obligation
Move across each segment considering the obligations you carried today. Notice which ones you honored, where effort was freely given, and where it was surrendered. The aim is to see clearly what you carried and how you carried it.
Exercise 3
The Measure: Engagement
Move through each segment and mark the moments when you were fully present and in genuine contact, whether with your work, with other people, or with the work of the lodge. Once you can measure those moments, you can begin to expand them.
