Hats
“All the world ’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts” As You Like It – (Act II, Scene VII).
Today, and yesterday I didn’t wear a hat. Yesterday none noticed the absence. Today however so many people noticed it was funny. It kind of spun people out, weird how I’d been boxed so well. I spent tonight watching a horrible movie (Never Been Kissed) at one of my friend’s house. It made me think about clothes, perception and power. I wonder how often I am an actor. I know some times, taking on a role is useful.
I’ve also been thinking about how much personal defence I still have. I am interested to cut through to the truth and the core of me. I am challenged at the moment, thinking about my use of facetious comments and how I hide behind that.
