The world is a mask that hides the real world.
Thatâs what everybody suspects, though the world we see wonât let us dwell on it long.
The world has ways - more masks - of getting our attention.
The suspicion sneaks in now and again, between the cracks of everyday existenceâ¦the bird song dips, rises, dips, trails off into blue sky silence before the note that would reveal the shape of a melody that, somehow, would tie everything together, on the verge of unmasking the hidden armature that frames this sky, this tree, this bird, this quivering green leaf, jewels in a crown.â¦
As the song dies, the secret withdraws.
The tree is a mask.
The sky is a mask.
The quivering green leaf is a mask.
The song is a mask.
The singing bird is a mask.

"Kodak" Falcon Killed
(Rochester, NY) 06/06/05 -- There's sad news for those who follow the Peregrine falcons who regularly nest on Eastman Kodak's tower.
One of the falcons, Hafoc, was found dead late last month. It appears he was hit by a vehicle.
Hafoc's transmitter went dead back in March and researchers had been looking for him since that time.
