everyone i know including myself wears a mask. it is our true inner makeup. when we have them on we can do anything but when our face is naked and the world can see we are known for our truths. we hope every day things we do that we really know are not right are hidden from the world. nothing is private. i cherish my privacy but no matter what we do everything is known. there is always someone gossiping. i know i have. sometimes to defend myself. sometimes to protect myself. truth hurts some. i thought of the masks tonight as i was talking to my daughter. i was looking at a pic she has. a beautiful nymph similar to her looks. she is plucking a daisy. he loves me not was the last pedal. she was crying and her wings were tattered. in the back ground was another pic of the nymph crying. it was so sad. my daughter always made her feelings clear. men my daughter is so beautiful why would you want to hurt anything so beautiful? but it isn't just my daughter. i see many women hurt every day who take the abuse yet they did not deserve it and no one around them stood up for them. respect is what we want. find it for God and we will get it. without reverence there is no respect. without humility to God there is no reverence. children fall into sadness very easily. we must look at what is making our lives when we have children because everything we do affects our children. i know my children believe because i always did and they saw my passion for right and good. they will pass on my ideas even if all my words are silenced. peace and blessings, kate
