Enshrouded

There are times when it seems safer and more comfortable to stay surrounded by or covered by something that feels protective. A physical covering is the easiest way to provide shelter for oneself from almost anything as a first line of defense. But there are a plethora of things that are not physical that can assault one, too; fears of all kinds, lack of self-confidence, a desire for personal privacy, and having a break from all the trials and tribulations that surround us are examples of reasons to enshroud oneself. Sometimes these tactics are successful and sometimes they are not’ when they are not we don’t necessarily know that they are not, but then it really doesn’t really make much difference as long as we continue to believe we are protected since that belief is at least partial protection in itself. There is nothing wrong, therefore no reason to criticize or castigate those seeking anonymity or protection with coverings physical or mental, that covering may enshroud you in a cloak of mystery, or glory, or invincibility. Who wouldn’t like to wear one of those cloaks (or another of your choice), at least for a while?
