WISE FOOL

Wise Fool In2it! Card 1B

WISE FOOL

How can you feel generous?

How can you believe there’s enough?

Enough clean water and air,

and peace on this planet?

How can you believe that your creativity

makes this a better world?

How can you trust your prayers are heard?

Sometimes a Wise Fool has to fake it to make it!

How do you know the difference

between reality and imagination?

As a Wise Fool you know there is

NO difference!

Your body’s WISE!

It tells NO LIES!

Yet your body doesn’t know the difference

between imagination and what is ‘real’.

Your Wise Fool shakes you ‘awake’!

Excited!

“Get up! See your dreams come true!”

Even when you can’t remember your dreams, yet.

Your Wise Fool spills your glass half full-

“See your gifts!

Give them away!

Make room for more!”

even when your glass looks half empty.

If you pulled wise fool-

It’s time to round out your wisdom.

Wiggle when you walk.

Jiggle when you laugh.

As woman-feel your breasts rise when you inhale.

As man-feel your groin swell when you exhale.

Remember, we are both man and woman.

It’s time to shake off the shackles

that hold back your joy for being alive!

Move into your body! 

Relish in your fluid motions.

Applaud your fluid Emotions.

Whatever body restrictions you have

LET THEM GO! 

Abundance is the key, not deprivation!

As Wise Fool you are being called to wise up!

Strut your stuff! 

It’s your human right to

freely express your joy in life!

 What is there to be joyful about?

That you can wiggle, jiggle, laugh, and drool!

Your body is alive.

Compliment the next ‘stranger’ you come across.

Generously tip the next service you receive-

Street Artist, coffee stand server,

library assistant, yoga teacher.

The next time you burp out loud,

LAUGH instead of saying excuse me!

Practice Abundance!

It’s Contagious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WILD CARD

Wild Card In2it! Card 1B

“I’m sorry, if you were right,

I’d agree with you.”

-Robin Williams

WILD CARD

Every deck has a wild card, a joker.

Every court has a jester.

Every circus has a clown.

My favorite Goddess is BAUBO.

Her eyes are her nipples and her mouth

is her vulva. She is who brings Demeter, Mother Goddess,

back to life through laughter.

Just when you’re taking life too seriously,

you draw the wild card.

Jokers see life in cartoon characters.

Remember taking someone too seriously?

Remember feeling way too heavy and

constricted by your narrow mind?

A Joker would see a big butt-

instead of a serious person.

The Joker doesn’t see a head on this character,

just big butt.

The butt is huge because their head is up their butt.

No one can understand the noises they’re making

because the noise is farts.

Their comments and opinions can’t hurt anyone

because they’re just farting.

No one can judge them any more

because everyone farts now and then.

If the Wild Card popped up for you–

Come take a walk on the wild side of life.

Your untamed, natural, instinctual side

desires your company.

Where does your wild hide?

Climb a tree.

Stroll through a native plant nursery.

Walk in a strange alley.

Or maybe it’s just taking private time for yourself.

Read a comic book or

free-style doodle instead of e-mail.

Remember how to Day Dream.

Let your mind go astray.

Take the long way home.

Your Wild Side

SCRATCHED GRAFITTI

ON YOUR BATHROOM WALL:

“Love teaches even asses to dance.”

-unknown-

“You will find AWEsomeness in your wildest thoughts;

skip, hop, jump into your imagination.

Ancestors

Service Guide Card 1B

Homage to Our Ancestors

The oldest form of prayer known:

Beating the drum and chanting.

It’s our heartbeat and breath.

In our mama’s womb, we were soothed by her  heartbeat and breath.

This was our original song and dance

before we entered the world.

Our ancestors danced

Birth, death, rain, and harvest.

Through dance our ancestors

seduced the gods and goddesses,

bargained with the deities,

and praised the heavens.

Simple conscious movement-

like slow breathing, chanting a prayer,

helps us re-member

we all belong here.


If you pulled ancestors-

Take notice that all around you

are your relatives:

the 4 directions, the 4 elements, the four tribes.

We share space on this big earth ball.

We all make it turn.

Round and round we go

release, recycle, return, revolve.

Your body is earth.

Your tears and sweat are water.

Your breath is air.

Your heartbeat is fire.

If you feel scattered,

overwhelmed or off center-

Stand where you can,

spread out your arms,

and spin.

As you spin-send out your gratitude for all your ancestors who hold you-

beast, fowl, fish, and human.

Feel above you with your hands.

Feel below you stomping your feet.

Feel around you with your hips.

Bring your arms into your chest

and beat softly on your chest like a drum.

Push your arms out making sound.

Hum, howl, moan, groan, sing.

It doesn’t matter where you begin,

You will reach the center.

ALL ROADS LEAD YOU HOME.
