"Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without but know we cannot live within." - James Baldwin

Love says, “take off limits of a disguised, masked, self; I love you as you are.” Love recognizes we’re ALL: vulnerable, real, flawed and yet beautiful, works-in-progress. LOVE rejects a false self and says, “don’t fear being tagged a ‘loser.’ YOU are a TEN by reason of being human.” Bullies who judge, “winner, loser,” are frightened hollow-men who fear judgment themselves. Be fearless; unmask yourself! Encourage love, acceptance, forgiveness and compassion. Love will discard tattered masks we’ve “lived within.”
