I'm as nervous as a cat in a rocking chair factory because a week from tomorrow I will be filling in as Master for the first time. I'm currently Junior Warden but we don't have an installed Senior Warden. The rules are that only an installed warden can open the lodge in the absence of the Master. The Master has to travel on business, so I get the most uncomfortable seat in the room for the evening.
I've been practicing every chance I get but the big difference is up until now, all the Ritual I've done has been in response to something. Now I'm the one initiating the Ritual. Wish me luck. I plan a long form opening and a relatively short closing. There's an exchange between the Master and Wardens at the end of the long form closing that I really like and we haven't done in a very long time so we're doing it next week.
I'm excited, scared and grateful to the Master and lodge for the trust they are giving me.
