Interestingly I've heard this mask meme before - but from a different fantasy author, Terry Pratchett, in Maskerade. I wonder if there's a common origin. Either way it's a lovely story and empowering for some who hear it.

Definitely shades of Bowie's 'the mask' routine from his mime days https://vimeo.com/249177125
