Verses of Immortality: The Arcana

The Arcana - 0. The Fool

"The moment man devoured The Fruit of Knowledge, he sealed his fate. Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to the dim hope. Yes, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed."

The Fool

Dancing in happiness, waltzing in ignorance. He who knew no fear for he had no knowledge of one cruising through the road of uncertainty. The man sang, danced, celebrated his purposeless journey with joy and happiness with his faithful dog behind him.

He is by no means a simply fool. He just did not know yet. He was ready for everything, because he did not know what he was meant to be ready for. He put his life in the hands of the Fate, leaving everything in the eyes of Destiny.

As he walked by in ignorance, he stepped through a narrow bridge, with only bottomless ravines on his left and right. He, however, did not see it. He kept walking and walking, singing and dancing, enjoying the ignorance. The dog that followed the man, however, was his warning, ready to bite the ignorance away should it be needed to happen.

The journey is a step away from all of our comfort. To choose the pilgrimage means to leave the comfortness and leeting your insecurities and alertness leads the way. It is to surrender to the spontanity and the odds of nature. To let go of the illusion of control means to be free. To live.

And thus, the man and his dog continued cruising into the path of uncertainty, ready to see, ready to learn everything that came on their way. He walked bravely, no fears or doubts. He wasn't afraid of losing since he had nothing to lose.
