Maskid
Halloween oma värvikate kostüümide ja maskidega
on jälle tulekul. Sain hiljuti teada, et maskide taha peitusid vanad iirlased
oma suve lõpu pühal (Samhain) hoopis selleks, et surnute hinged neid ära ei
tunneks ning kaasa ei viiks oma riiki.
Keda me püüame aga petta, kui oma igapäeva elus
oma nähtamatuid maske kanname ja kellegi teisena näida püüame?
Kas üritame end paremini sobitada oma pere või
suhtlusgrupi normidega?
Kellena me õieti üritame näida?
Milliseid osi iseendas üritame me varjata? Ja
mispärast?
Rumi ütles: “Rebi maha oma mask! Su nägu on
jumalik”
Masks
Halloween with its fun of dressing up
is almost here. Old Irish folks wore masks and costumes to cheat the spirits of
dead who lurked around during this time of the year when the veil between the
worlds of living and dead was thinner.
This invites me to think about those
invisible masks that we wear in our daily lives for various different reasons.
Is my mask to fit in or please the
others?
Or maybe I try to cheat the critical
parts inside myself?
Which are the masks that “pop onto my
face” in different situations?
Which parts of myself I try to hide
from others?
What does my mask want to tell to the
world?
Rumi says: “Tear off the mask! Your
face is glorious!”
