Tre Mace Masks

Reading about sacred place as a mask for the holy, brought to mind my experience in Spain, in which I participated in this relationship. I was at an old ruined castle, in the middle of the Meseta and I was able to see for miles in every direction. While atop the old castle I felt miniscule, humbled by what was around me. I knew then that I was insignificant in the big picture, and this castle revealed to me the glory of creation. This is what masks do they are able to reveal the nature of the holy and its glory, while at the same time concealing it from us. We must experience the holy to be able to begin to comprehend it.
