It is only when you come to see that you have made a fool of yourself that you can shed your motley and hew a more seemly garment. If you keep humour, add wit, reflection and forethought you may gain a cloth of wisdom in which to wrap yourself.
When you feel the fool it can only be you who made the world this way. A world you were powerful enough to make without intention. Imagine the myriad of worlds you can make with effort!
There are times when the fools game may be of value: When loosing yourself to the fall at the start of building love, when running towards the sound of danger, when spirits are low and light is hidden in small places, needing a jester's eye to find it. Having played the fool unknowingly once, you can clothe yourself in foolishness when the need arises. When the need arises.
I speak from experience for I have played the fool in many forms. The certain fool, the loving fool, the rushing fool, the happy fool, the blushing fool, the fool contrite with cap in hand.
The fool who reaches out with words and hopes for solace from words returned...
The fool's face has obscured my looking glass enough. I have stood behind the fool and sung a fool's song beyond its usefulness.
It is time to play another part. To clothe myself in a new robe and build a new world.
Until the need arises.
