New beginnings.

Now that the plague is fading away here, I wonder is this the new normal?
People seem nervous to take off the masks and be exposed. Oddly, that is something almost all people fear in their lives, to take off their masks and to expose themselves to the world. 
I find the thought of taking off my mask and not worrying about it exhilarating. And yet, part of me already misses the anonymity. I wear a mask that has a logo, that expresses 'something' about me without showing _anything_ of who I am. 
It's like doing magic. You can do it in secret and no one knows you do it, except you. And only you will know the significance of change around you and how it came about. Or you can be very public and cast magic in a circle of like minded witches/magic users adding your power to theirs to create something larger. But when I do that, I often find the energy becomes diffuse, since not all of us are focused the same and not all of us have the same intent. Isn't that strange? The best magic is done between and with, just a two or perhaps, three people, all working with the same intent, all working together. There is an intimacy to that kind of magic that makes it so much more powerful. It takes a willingness to subsume one's Ego to the Will of the leader, to allow them to command and direct all that you bring. Like making Love, it needs trust and a willingness to join on so many levels. Isn't that strange? ;)
