FOOL
As I approach the doorway, an emerald green dragon appears standing on
the black and white checkered floor. At his feet rests a harp in eerie silence.
Behind the dragon and through the doorway the blackness begins to swirl and
change colors as bubbles rise from the floor.
A voice inside my head tells me to come closer as the dragon turns
his head to look at me through a single eye. The voice is like a warm
blanket being wrapped around my shoulders.
As I step toward him he throws a die on the floor...one glowing dot.
In his hand, another die appears. He points to me with a wand bearing an
orange dragon's head.
"This is the door of chance and destiny. The future lies behind me and
will always change with the roll of the dice. When the die is thrown
you must choose if you will follow the destiny before you or chance a
second roll of the dice. Your life is yours to change and choose, and like
the dice, you never know how it will end."
Four aces appear above his head. Each symbolizing a different element
and aspect of life. A cup or water for emotions, a wand of fire for
creativity, a sword of air for intellect, and a pentacle of earth for
prosperity.
"This is the beginning. What is your choice? Do you take what destiny,
I the Fool, give you, or do you take fate into your own hands?
Choose now."
