A Fool's Journey Begins
The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

The Fool & Uranus
"What do these two characters have in common?" the Wise Woman asked me.
I paused and thought a moment, but my continued silence gave me away. I didn't have a clue.
She smiled at me and said, "At first glance, maybe the idea of ...'you ran us into the ground'. ALeph. Is that a leap of faith? Stepping out, like Indiana Jones, onto a hidden bridge, a bridge that only star dust can reveal? "
I must be having a slow day, because I just smiled back and listened.
"Or is it something more? she prompted. "If something lies up the Magician's sleeve ... most likely it came from the fool's bag. Care to tip it upside down and see what falls out of the Hanged Man's pockets?"
Now I had to laugh. "What do they have in common?" I asked.
"Welcome back," she said smiling. "You seemed a little lost there. Please feel free to explore the contents of these most nimble, humble pages, who are happy to squire you around the block or the universe ... where ever Miss Vivian wants to go ... "
All I caught was the pages. "Are these stories or guides?"
Her smile widened into a full fledged grin. "Now you are starting to listen with your inner ear," she said as she moved a few pages closer so I could take a look at them.
A fool and his money are soon parted
