This is the universes gift, a no-strings, no-limits, only opportunity’s to thrive, if we choose to see. The Fool asks us to watch were we are going, but stay grounded in the present.

When does the Fool authentically beginning a new chapter of life? The Fool is the beginning and the end of our journey. When fear overtakes us the the Fool asks us to open our hearts and our minds. When we fear the challenges in-front of us the Fool asks for trust.
