Face it.

This Halloween I thought I might take off my mask.  

There is a kind of mask we don that separates us from our smaller self.  It's not a hiding mask, but grants us creativity and power.  It creates just enough of a barrier to allow a truer voice through.  

There's another kind that separates us from the world.  It's a mask that makes vulnerability and intimacy damn near impossible.

I bought the first kind last Halloween.

And since they don't label the masks at Jack's, there's wisdom in knowing the difference.
