0 | The Fool

"I have a yearning inside of me to extract more from this life than I thought possible. I can see a bigger and brighter future for myself, outside of the limitations unto which I was born. I am ready to leave behind all that I thought I knew, though I am unsure of where to go. I seek answers to questions I cannot define. And somehow, I know that Spirit will guide me, and I can no longer refuse to answer the call.

I am willing to be misunderstood, cast aside, and ridiculed as I go against the grain, swimming against the current of a world lost in ignorance. I find peace and solace within myself when I travel the path that I know is meant for me. The cheap and empty satisfaction that comes as praise from anything outside of myself has lost its allure, and I must follow my intuition at all costs.

I feel companionship and understanding from the animals, as I watch them simply follow their instincts day after day, never worrying about where to go or what to do. The animals just are, as I simply long to just be. I see the plants and feel their wisdom, as they silently bear witness to the world’s activities, selflessly providing the very air that I breathe.

I feel the weight that I carry. I am aware of the memories and experiences that haunt my troubled mind, but I now realize that the only way to unburden myself is to move forward, step by step into the unknown, looking up to the skies for encouragement and inspiration. I trust that my soul knows the way, and I shall let it guide me."
