    Good thoughts expressed--but my answers would only detract from the goodness.

    I love the first photo and the quote is great as well.

    It is an interesting Wilde quote - what we choose to hide behind is obviously important to us, and what we want to project tells us who we want to be, maybe hides our insecurities - I wonder at the motive of the mask (but then again, I wear one.)

    Aloha from the Unknown

    The fear of the unknown has a familiar ring to me. I'll work on it.

    You have got me thinking. Again. Thank you.
    I do fear uncertainty - but step forward anyway. And do often discover that the fence conceals beauty.
