Fool


Hey, dear fool, you lightworker, you truthseeker, you who just is.

What's it like to live in your crazy madness (one in which many may consider naive and too idealistic)? One filled with no fears, just living and being? So immersed in your own dreams, your being aligned with your soul and essence, no pretense--a free spirit! So free you are you live in love fearlessly, in the moment, with all your passionate fervor on your sleeve, heart open as if nothing can hurt (be the wound real or imaginary). How do you do it? How do you live without, or at least, not giving in to fear, knowing that everything will be okay? How do you take that blind leap of faith, hoping you won't fall? How do I be unapologetically myself? Because even with that knowledge, that idea, I find myself holding a protective barrier stemming from said fears, and that shield that once protects (protects? ah, according to my disillusioned mind) simultaneously hinders, creating distance from the me I am present and the me of Who I Want to Be. Because even with that reassurance, I still lose courage, not being able to muster forth the hopes that’s underneath. And I know happiness comes within, but I still can't deny the external. Help me, I mean it!, help me break free from this illusion; guide me to awaken, to create my own freedom! Sincerely, my dear Fool, tell me... impart your wisdom and share with me a part of your paradise...give me just a little bit of your boldness, for I’d love to live in your madness. I'll break every chain that binds me down; I'll try to follow my heart. I can do this! I'll be my own hero, I can save myself. Even if I die trying to live a Dream.. But, despite that, I don't even know where to begin! I'll let my pride down as I beseech you to share your innocence. Take me for all I am; use me. I'll be all yours. Let me leap with you into this joyful experience! Let us change the world together! Because we dare to dream. Because we know we are more than human beings!

 

Metamorphosis. To an essence of love, we transform the finite to become the infinite. Despite all the horrors the world sees, we'll create the beauty the world needs. Fool, wait and and see! We'll be the trailblazers toward glorious destiny.
