Remember Profound Fool Day, April 1st, (Divine)

The Fool Profound or Fool Divine
I had it once and said "It's mine!"
but I mislaid my sense of play
and merrily it danced away

Now it returns once more to me
dancing still more merrily
and this time it comes multiplied
me and many more besides

All of us we are the Fools
love and laughter are our tools
tears of joy and sadness too
heal the wounds in me and you

When we were young the sacred way
was trodden naturally in play
but we grew up and as we grew
we sadly lost the things we knew

All that I have learnt thus far
teaches me that I'm a star
teaches me that when I flow
in everything I do I grow

There's a way where there's a will
To drop the heavy overkill
To look upon ourselves and laugh
To never do a thing by half

May you never lose the Fool
nor the universal rule
sacred and profane are one
Magic Lives are now Begun

All Fools Day today, like many other 'traditions' is a mere echo of its origins. Reputedly it was orginally a wild card day which exaggerated the element of physical reality that we would do well not to lose sight of: that nothing is quite what it seems. Thus, on All Fools Day, you could never be quite sure if you were addressing the real Lord of the Manor or actually the man who worked the land, and vice versa..

Ironically, the joke's on us if we don't take the April Fools Day message seriously: life's too mysterious, don't take it serious..... OR in Tom Lehrer's words, Anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of.....
