The Fool card from the Radiant Tarot asks me to be the fool for the day. This was hard for me to even contemplate as it’s been so long since I was silly and foolish and it almost seems I have forgotten how. However, the kids took off for a monsters game and this prompt’s been playing in the back of my mind since I pulled it–and immediately put it back–a few days ago. So I decided that I would play the fool for the evening.
I’m cooking my favorite food–risotto–and instead of staidly standing their and stirring it, I turned up the volume on some rock and roll and stirred and rocked out. I started with the boys (The Beatles, Aerosmith, etc.), but soon decided I wanted something more feminine so I tuned in to Ace of Cups and rocked out while I was cooking my favorite slow food. It felt good to practice some probably bad dance moves and to dance around the kitchen like no one was watching…because they weren’t. I soon decided that I needed some beat to go with my dancing and pulled out a rattle and my homemade sistrum and I rocked out. It feel so good and so liberating to just dance and not worry about how I looked.
I also felt so in my body. I spend so much time living in my head that to actually feel in my body was a weird feeling. I felt good and sexy and amazing. The only downside to my dancing is that Wendy freaked out a little and ran into her cuddle cup to get away from her crazy mom.
