Trick Or Retreat

I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes. - Thoreau

Title and poem say a lot. I can understand this as being ourselves, true to our selves, never retreating from self and truth. Life can be both a treat or a retreat as you say. A powerful message that needs more thinking. Excellent play of concept Pete.

Thankfully I get to retreat, since nobody ever goes trick-or-treating in the wooly wildwoods where I live (((HUGS)))
