"Act well your part, for there all the honour lies" ~Thespis

As long as we are true to ourselves,
we can be many things to many people.

Shakespeare said it best, "All the world is a play and all the men and women are merely players." I think this expresses real life. I think real life is theater. It is a soap opera. Especially if you work where I do. There are many theatrical enthusiasts; everyday is a show.

we play many roles Dale, all of them make up who we are and some who we aspire to become ... some we decide to change for the better ... some we refuse to see ... your honest assessment is refreshing and really well penned ...

Many faces do we don throughout our lives, most of us (well me, for sure) look back and are amazed at the many clown ones I have worn. This was inspiring.

Guess we're all in to "suck it and see"! "Hmmm... who am I today?!" ... I think that this is as much unintentional as it can be intentional... sometimes the mood of the pen just decides for us! I love the way you conclude here with how tiresome mask-wearing can actually be ultimately... and how soul-less. In the end, being true to self is what actually endears us to people - contrary to what our morbid fears might seek to tell us. Glad your heart is well and truly in place, Dale, and loud and proud for all to see - not hidden and masked like so many of us. Thank you! Kate xx

Oh, this is a gem, Dale. We are so much more that the roles we play. Yes, we all have masks. Some more than one to protect the tender underbelly. And when they fall, we trip on our own foolishness and ignorance. Thus we learn...
