Exposure

Every day you walk about in a body is a Halloween.  Which mask will you wear today?   You are given this costume to learn.  You can use it any way you wish, for along with the body-costume comes free will.  Will you use it to hide behind or to shine behind?  Will you allow your true nature to peek through the two holes at the top of the face mask, or will you put a false smile upon the lips?

It is uncomfortable to wear a costume for too long.  As the true self grows, you can no longer stand to wear the mask.  Some day you get to the point where you must remove it completely and expose your self.  As long as that is a frightening thought, you are not quite ready, and that is all right.  Peel it back bit by bit or rip it off … at your own speed.  Working toward that goal is why you are here.  Be patient with yourself as you peek out from behind the costume.  Recognizing the costume for what it is is a step in the right direction.
