The room was filled with smiling faces
Each appeared so sincere
Every eye filled with laughter
“Why do I feel out-of-place?” she wondered
It seemed every where she went she never belonged
Then by chance she happened to see a placard on her way out
“leave your masks at the door when you leave!”

Ha…Leave your masks at the door. Good advice that we should all take. My mask was getting stinky and ill fitting anyway. I like the freedom I have now that I removed it and tucked it away.

Very good, Leslie! Long time since being here, it still feels like home, though–grin! I like this. Good words for those signs outside (Protestant, of course–grin!!!!) churches. Also other churches, BTW!

Truth be told it’s been a little bit since I swung through old friend, but I’m loving the new style to the blog. Dark yet sleek theme to the background.
Lovely 55 to a great photo! It seems that all of life is a masquerade at times…

Great post…and the photo, too. Was it taken in Venice? Reminds me of the mask shop there where I bought a small, but quite lovely, black mask – FOR FIFTY DOLLAR US!
