What if they are only masks. I am intrigue with the mask as an anthropological construction as much as a social necessity.

Reminds me of a primary song I knew: If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay. quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown away.

How right you are, Wilma. The enemy wins when we let negative feelings control our lives. You said a lot in your great senryu, my friend. Love, Carolyn

So very true! If only we could remember that when anger flares up in our hearts, we could overcome it!
