Imagine a glorious masquerade ball. People have spent great amounts of time, energy and money to create elaborately ornamented costumes and masks. The mask helps to create a persona that we may think is bigger and better than we really are. It helps us to say and do things we wouldn't without the mask.
Its all wonderful fun until we realize we prefer the mask to our own face or we have forgotten what we look like without our masks. Quite possibly it will require drastic intervention to remove this security blanket we have become accustomed to. Quite possibly God will intervene and give us the opportunity to see ourselves for who we really are. Perhaps something will shake your world up like a career or relationship change.
It is a magical moment when we realize we are most beautiful when we are unmasked, that we are already whole, complete and perfect. Learn how to reveal more of yourself at our next yoga class every Wednesday at 5:15 at the Betttendorf Community Center on Grant Street.
