The love The Fool in my Tarot deck, blithely walking off the edge. We’re all there right now.

Thank you for reading and commenting, Eileen. I’m pleased that the essay expanded your perception. It is a good Beatles song! And, the Wise Fool is a wonderful pen name!

Thank you for helping me understand more clearly my affection for the song.

When I was in the 7th grade I submitted anonymous essays for our class newsletter. My pen name was the Wise Fool. And no one ever knew it was me! (Only my teacher, and she never said a word.) (My essays were sophomoric musings on existence; years later I discovered that “sophomore” means “wise fool.”)
