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.

"the dog is healthy and green"
Golden Retriever Gives Birth To Green Puppy
10 November 10 2005
A dog breeder in Alhambra, Calif., is mystified after his golden retriever gave birth to a green puppy, according to a Local 6 News report.
The green puppy, named Wasabi, was one of four puppies born five days ago.
The dog is healthy and green, according to the report.
Local 6 News showed video of the puppy rolling around with its normal-looking newborn brothers and sisters.
Skeptics said the dog had to be dyed green but the owner said the puppy was born green.
Veterinarians said it is possible for a newborn puppy's fur to be green because the placenta, which is green, rubs off at birth.
