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

Which Tarot Card Are You?

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."-Aesop
"When the wise man learns the Way He tries to live by it. When the average man learns the Way He lives by only part of it. When the fool learns the Way He laughs at it. Yet if the fool did not laugh at it, It would not be the Way. Indeed; if you are seeking the Way Listen for the laughter of fools." -Lieh Tzu

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



I tend to surround myself with a wide array of social misfits, free thinkers, artists, musicians, hooligans, and other assorted purveyors of truth....

the object is to protect or to seize
money, property and power,
and there will always be wars so long as
Capital rules and oppresses people." Ernst Friedrich,

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
"When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong you cannot be too conservative."

"A time comes when silence is betrayal."

"I am not very good at this game called Life, for I've not learned to see children crying without feeling pain, for I've not learned to watch animals being destroyed without wondering why. For I've not yet met a king or celebrity that I would bow down to, or a man so insignificant that I would use for a stepping-stone. For I've not yet learned to be a "yes man" to narrow minded bosses who quote rules without reason, and I've not learned to manipulate the feelings of others to be used for my own advantages, then cast aside as I see fit. No, I am not very good at this game called Life, and if everything goes well, maybe I never will be..." ~Javan
