Fool

“A thing
cannot be
delivered
enough times:
this is the
rule of dogs
for whom there
are no fool’s
errands. To
loop out and
come back is
good all alone.
It’s gravy to
carry a ball
or a bone”

-Kay Ryan, “Fool’s Errands”

"In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again."

-down the rabbit hole

"A Fool’s journey begins at Zero and concludes at Zero- a complete circle."

-Double Oh Fool

"...the fool is that archetype that turns things on their head, makes us laugh, and for a moment, forget our fear." -colette obrian

"It is freeing to become aware that we do not have to be victims of our past and can learn new ways of responding. But there is a step beyond this recognition. It is the step of forgiveness.
It sets us free.

~ Carolyn Osiek

The Crone Speaks:

To know me, first know this ~
In the beginning, as in the End there is Nothing
There is Nothing
Behind your ordinary world
Behind all manifestation
Lies the Void

I am the emptiness surrounding the universe
I am the uncertainty of the electron
I am the nothingness hiding in your soul

In the Void you have no name
Words do not exist
You have no memory, no past or future
Time does not exist
You find no landmarks, you have no body
Matter does not exist

But You
You may still exist

A mere spark of awareness

But that is enough
That is where you begin

Ace of Cups

THE VESSEL AND THE CUP
from a Hasidic story


What cup knows the distress
of the large vessel, knows
any more than two inches
of the purple? For the cup
everything that fills up
is equal--the little jug,
the pot, the large vessel.
Beyond its own meniscus
nothing's knowable for a cup.
But the vessel wishes
one something
could use it up.

-Kay Ryan

Offering
the Root of
the Powers of Water

( ( ( g o i n g w i t h t h e f l o w ) ) )

After the grace in the dive, a gentle landing is assured, a friendly welcome from the depths of the unconscious. -motherpeace

...prominent emanations of energy
spanning out in a web of connectivity.

I drink in the evening. I drink in the sky.

My heart swells, vast and great as Heaven Herself.

She fills my soul. She feeds my dreams.

And I believe.

-crone

The silver cup is the vessel,
the chalice, the grail....
It promises a joyous experience of letting go into unconditional love,
the spaciousness of the open heart.
-motherpeace

...the movement of water always moves towards depth, it always searches for the lowest ground.
It is non-ambitious; it never hankers to be first, it wants to be last.
