Hiding behind tradition, canonized scriptures, sacraments, rituals and vestments, real men/ woman are often hidden from view by their facade.
Secreting ones self, is not confined to man, nor to religion. Lions hide in the tall grass to hunt, as do crocodiles in river bottoms. Insects mimic branches and leaves, as do certain birds. Minerals mimic gold and silver.
Mimicry. camouflage, or hiding out, is particularly prevalent among politicians and nations. The Bible speaks of one people slyly pretending to be another from afar in order to escape their nearby Hebrew destroyers.
As Halloween approaches, all forms of guises and disguises, both masks and masques, will soon emerge. They too will solicit trick-or-treats of you. When they come knocking, respect them, as others have respected you.
