The Sacred Fool
The Trickster, the Prankster, the Jester and the Muse. Keep us humble by revealing our limitations; show us that anything is possible when you let go of expectations; teach us the healing power of laughter; inspire us to share our joy and sadness so that others may laugh and learn and grow; remind us to see the world with new eyes; and sting us out of complacence and stagnation, returning us to the path. Travel with Mona Warner (voice/banjo) and Amy Beltaine (intern Minister) to find the healing side of humor and surprise. 7 PM Buchan 101-102 Wed. April 18.

“When you step out in faith like the Fool, others may declare you insane. And the end result (or what I call “the form”) is never guaranteed. What is certain though, is that you can’t be The Magician unless you’re first willing to be The Fool.” ~Kimberly Schneider

To have fun.
To learn to make beautiful things.
To remember to finish what I begin.
To want to keep my temper most of the time.
To learn about trees and flowers and all of nature.
To have adventures with all sorts of things.
To make friends.
