The Fool’s Voice
The fool/clown/naïve is a warrior of peace, trust, insight, innocence, and compassion.
These characters have immeasurable strength. Just think of those who you have thought of as being naïve… Did they give up simply because others, who could not trust, offered advice to the contrary as being “unwise”? Who is it which gets up time and again after being knocked down in life? And who is it that continues to have hope and faith, even beyond that of the “rational” person? Yes, the fool…
Who is it that shares their vision with the world, even when it is so far outside what most can believe or envision, daring that their dreaming can be turned to reality? …
Who bucks the idea of materialism and trades it in for the promise of bounty from the universe? Who puts their faith in something so far beyond them that they cannot even name it, because a name would be an insult to the complexity and intricacy, limiting it to their concept of a word?
And who, would risk everything on a whim that they could help one person, save one being and nurture one idea?…
Only
A
Fool…
So, if you wish to expand who and what you are… if you wish to be a true superhero in action, a warrior of peace and vision, a knight in shining armor, then add being a fool to the list of things that you are. — Jan Darwin Hutchins
