Masks Pick You
Remember the two kingdoms of masks I spoke of earlier? Nature and death. Also, mind and body. Any words will be a bit strained, but we all have the experience, because we all have the same collection of masks. What are the truly great stories? What do they include? A bad guy. Yes. They always have…
