Can you see that mask you wear?
What is its purpose,
and is it really needed?
Surely the world expects it,
or so you believe ...
Parent ... Child ... Adult
Boss ... Employee ... Unemployed
Artist ... Druggie ... Prim & Proper
Landlord ... Renter ... Homeless
Well take a look a that cloud, with holes for your eyes
It's just like those masks you wear,
trying to solidify your identity, your role, your ego
But they are mere gossamer,
flimsy and transient,
impossible to grasp and hold onto
when Life’s winds blow
Those masks you wear
won’t protect you, and worse
They'll cause you to confuse
the role with the actor
Would you like to remove your mask
on your terms and not the whims of the winds?
Then look deeply inside, for your true Self
behind the masks of your ego
And find the solid ground
of Choiceless Awareness
on which to take your stand
Firmly, confidently, equanimously
