Fool

0 The Fool

The Fool navigates his way through a forest of giant Saguaro cactus, down a two lane blacktop somewhere in the deserts of the Southwest. As a road map he carries a well read book, about a journey to a far off place. With a desert fox as his sidekick he steps off into the mists where the outcome is, shall we say, unknowable? He hangs onto his sombrero for: 1) balance 2) comic relief (isn't it absurd to bring along a sombrero when stepping off the precipice?) However, linear thinking and deductive reasoning are not the way of The Fool. Ready for adventure (at the drop of a hat) he thinks his Tai Chi and the ramblings of an old Indian shaman are enough to see him through.
