One of Peter Gower's craftsmen asked, "Master, you teach us to meditate on the symbols, allegories and myth of Masonry, your own mysterious aphorisms, and even upon silence itself. Is there one meditation that is truer than all others?"
"Yes," Peter Gower replied.
"Will you give it to us?" asked the craftsman.
Peter Gower said: "It is to make breathing, eating, working, resting, motion and repose, words, thoughts, feelings, good and evil, wealth and poverty, right and wrong, everything, into one single question."
The craftsman asked: "What is that question?"
Peter Gower was silent.
