The Masks Of Andong

In this story from Andong, South Korea — home of the ancient Hahoe mask tradition — Curtis explores what it means to live authentically in a world full of expectations.

Rooted in the festival’s age-old satire of the powerful and the pretentious, this reflection invites you to consider the many masks we all wear to be accepted, respected, or loved — and how freedom begins when we dare to take them off.

Fantastic audio and very calm voice, wonderful story inspired by old traditions and folklore of Andong and mixed with our new modern world reality in our society that everybody has "their mask"🎭😊

Curtis sorry it took so long to get back to you. I have been going through some health problems the last few years, and get caught up in my practice so that I focus on that and nothing else. It seems that way anyway, I listened to your story The Masks of Andong and found it to be truthful that we all wear masks like the performers and do get caught up in them. Trying to achieve what we think will bring happiness to us.
And I think we are all in a play that we call life most times not realizing that it is just a play.
