Benefits of Masking Up

It's a slight blessing that we're all wearing masks.
Because there weren't many smiles anyhow.
Besides we're all equally beautiful now.

Frightening to see so many tangled in self.
I think we should remain indefinitely masked.
Until we can learn to untangle and smile once again.

A very interesting and apropos suggestion... I like what you wrote about 'at least there's a possibility of a smile' (with the mask on). I actually am still smiling all the time. (I must be crazy... But good crazy)! Take good care, Anthony! :) gw

Smiles amid the storm, represent the will of our soul, to either, bleed together some more, or this is the consistent, and ever-continuing representation through our action together to be taken upon a faithful, instead of the faithless walk towards our death apart from His Will, for all life. He leaves all of us this choice to walk towards universal peace with Him, with all life, with one another, with ourselves. I pray for the very best action, for all of us parties, that are involved. Lol!
