Tarot: The Fool

Carpe Diem #185


perhaps called the fool
standing on the precipice
he knows the unknown

knowing life and death
the fool fears not the precipice
travel between worlds

    1. My haiku doesn't exactly go with the Tarot as much as Jung. That's where my beliefs are so just tying the cards to the philosopher/psychoanalyst ;-O It's metaphorical.

  2. Well put together I didn't see the Jung connection until you pointed it out.

    1. I'm very much a believer of inner wisdom, internal communication with various parts of ourselves, and a univeral consciousness. I believed all that before discovering Jung!

  3. I like you take on this Grace, many a great person has worn the tag of fool before others caught up with their thinking :)

    1. And a "fool" can only pretend to be wise?
