There are many reasons to hide, many reasons to be concealed.

Covering beauty hints at intrigue and mystery. Who is behind that mask? Why is it being worn?

Yet, do we not all hide behind masks of our own making? There are none who are transparent. Some things need to be hidden.

Not all masks are literal. Not all masks are dark. Some masks create so much attention that we forget to wonder what lies beneath. Some masks are beautiful.

What is your mask? What do you have to hide?

Don’t deny it; we all have silent phantoms fueling quiet operas we want no one to see.

Isn’t the music beautiful?
