You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins the journey into the unknown. To do this, he does not regard the world he knows as firm and fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In order to explore and expand, one must disregard convention and conformity. Those in the throes of convention look at the unconventional, non-conformist personality and think What a fool. They lack the point of view to understand The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in tradition as one who is closest to the spirit world. In many tribal cultures, those born with strange and unusual character traits were held in awe. Shamans were people who could see visions and go on journeys that we now label hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with physical differences had experience and knowledge that the average person could not understand. The Fool is God. The number of the card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect circle. This circle represents both emptiness and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by mountains and valleys or by his physical body. He does not accept the appearance of cliff and air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary DeLave http://www.marydelave.com/

Books
"Illusions the Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah", anything written by Christopher Moore is an absolute MUST read, and I dig Shakespeare, Bill Heavey, and Bill Bryson... I'm sensing a theme here. Apparently I'll read anything if it's written by someone named Bill ... hummm I must go analyze this now.

I'm in search of some peace of soul, couple that with a good cup of coffee to accompany a great conversation and I'm a happy camper!... an excellent spell checker wouldn't hurt either... I'm a woman of simple pleasures really. No, really I am!
Isis is my girl.
Welcome to my world...
come on in.
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
~Albert Einstein
We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full. ~Marcel Proust
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
By Emily Dickinson
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." ~Anais Nin

"The salvation of man is through love and in love." ~Victor Frankl
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love (from chapter 'Personal Power')
"Because why be Queen if you can't defy the space-time continuum and/or inconvenience others?"
~Nanea
"I envy paranoids because they actually believe that people are paying attention to them."

~Paul DeMain
"Well behaved women rarely make history." ~Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
"If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning." ~Cathrine Airde
"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." ~Douglas Adams
"When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."
~Cherokee Expression
"My life has a superb cast, but I can't figure out the plot." ~Ashleigh Brilliant
I want to work in revelations, not just spin silly tales for money. I want to fish as deep down as possible into my own subconscious in the belief that once that far down, everyone will understand because they are the same that far down. ~Jack Kerouac (1950)

OBSERVATION
If I don't drive around the park,
I'm pretty sure to make my mark.
If I'm in bed each night by ten,
I may get back my looks again.
If I abstain from fun and such,
I'll probably amount to much;
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn.
~Poems by Dorothy Parker
"Action is the antidote to despair."
~Joan Baez
"Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace." ~Marianne Williamson, "A Woman's Worth"
(Some men know this? I'd like to meet one.)
"But most of all, the energy of love, when radiated, brings the realization, the illumination and union of body/temple, energy/spirit, and mind/universe, as one with god."
~David Goldsmith
"Pain is the ultimate giver. It opens doors for us and even pushes us through when we need pushing."
~David Goldsmith
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
~Jiddu Krishnamurti
"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow-man, and along those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects." ~Herman Melville
"The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it." ~Richard Bach
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built up against it." ~Rumi
"Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you."
~Richard Bach
"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
~E. B. White
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts. ~George Eliot
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran
"If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you might as well teach it to dance." ~George Bernard Shaw
And one final one from the beautiful mind of Shayla Dugan,
"It's easier to lose your mind than lose weight and sometimes both can be a burden to carry around."
Amen sister friend! AMEN!!!
Who I'd like to meet: Me -through your eyes.
"..It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing! It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive! It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human! It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself, if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the moon, "yes"! It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else fades away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in empty moments..."
-Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Indian Elder
