A Mask

I've been reading about Venice this morning and particularly about the Masked Revels of the Carnival. They fell out of favour for many, many years but were revived in the 2oth Century with a keen eye to tourist potential. However, they are still an opportunity for Venetians to have balls and parties in the dreary Winter months.

They are also a wonderful opportunity to engage in one of the truly universal games we humans play - hiding behind masks.

One of the effects of healing work is the stepping away from masks. Through healing we often move into a deeper understanding of who we truly are.

But still, who can resist the glamour, allure and mystery of occasionally hiding behind a mask?
