In Society we can feel so alone. There is a place we can go to that makes us feel safe. For most of us it is not physical, but can feel so real we don't want to leave it.

We find ourselves getting lost in the walls we have built for our safety. The greatest moments (and normally the scariest) are when we can let someone into our sanctuaries.

This is a view of my inner walls. Take a look through my stained glass past the masquerade at midnight.

Whether you like what you find isn't important. These are the inside of my walls. I just pray they move you to build your own Stained Glass Windows inside your own sanctuaries. Follow fluerdelis on Twitter
