The Fool in All of Us By Fran Hafey/Mysti

I decided for April fool's day to share the meaning of the Fools
Card in the Tarot card deck. I have always like this card
because to me it's lighthearted and fun.

The Fool's card represents the child within us... new beginnings,
being free of judgment of others and a playful, joyful,
lightheartedness. Isn't that great!! The fool goes his merry way
in life without expectations and shows us we can enter into a new
area of our lives with an innocence, but don't be "fooled" this
happy energy is a good thing and we don't always have to be so
serious about all situations in our lives. It's healthy to laugh
and let things flow for the higher good.

We've all had past experiences and memories that hold us back
from time to time, when we want to do something fun and a bit
different. We may need to let go and let the fool remind us that
it can be refreshing to do something new and that its ok to enjoy
it and have fun. We are often too hard on ourselves and the fool
is right there dancing in our faces saying, "life can be fun too,
you just have to loosen up!"

There is a time and place for everything and on this day, it's
just a little reminder to laugh and that the dance of life can be
light. Life doesn't have to be complicated, and if it seems so,
we must learn to slow it down, live it to the fullest, enjoy,
quiet it when we need quiet, dance when we feel the need to dance
and feel the magic that life has to offer.

Without this duality in life of folly and responsibility, we
would suffer from being unbalanced. Take the first day of April
to remember to laugh, to soar, to look at life from a different
angle and smile at the choices we have and feel the blessings.
Don't be afraid to share in the fool's dance now and then and let
the fool show us how it's done.
