First off, I have been interested in the Freemasons since I was a kid and learned that my step grandfather was a mason. Unfortunately, I learned it at his funeral. Since then, I would see the Masonic rings here and there and thought about it half heartedly. Recently, I went through some serious medical "Stuff" that made me think about what kind of person I am, what kind of person I want to be, and how I will be remembered. Since then, I realized that I want more from myself. I read a lot and re-read a book that talks about Masonry and started noticing the Masonic square and compass everywhere in San Antonio and it sparked my interest again.
My question is this; I have found quite a few lodges around me, and want to talk to a Mason about what it is to be a Mason. I have asked around if anyone knows a Mason I can talk to, but the answer is either "I used to, but he moved/quit/died" etc. I have read lots of things on the "interwebs", but I want to find out what it really is to be a Mason before I make a commitment. Would it be considered rude to show up outside a lodge before a meeting and introduce myself? If that would be rude, what's the best way to find a Mason in S.A. to have a chat with?
Thanks for your help everyone.
