the jester

Written By Kate Ellen
 
 

Your actions mean nothing, the sex and war that you do.

You're holding part of your pants and prancing around, Dun-da-dun, dun-da-dun.

Don't wait till you die to see this.
Recognize that your imagination and your thinking
and your sense perception are reed canes that children cut and pretend are horsies.


-rumi, a children's game

 
 

Three tarot cards for Jester:

The Fool
The Devil/Pan
The World

All of them: refusing to stay stuck.

 
 
 
 
 

Play isn't escape. Play is method.

 

Jesters know ⁕

when everyone's braced for impact, truth can't land. You have to soften the room first. Make people laugh. Get them breathing again.

Then you can say the real thing ⁕

 
 
 
 

The Jester's nightmare isn't failure.
It's being forced into sustained seriousness. Trapped in the discipline.

 

Jesters need flexible containers. Room to improvise. Permission to follow what's fun.

 
 
 
 
 

Your playfulness has a specific function.

Jester-Creator (playing through making)
Jester-Rebel (humor that disrupts)
Jester-Magician (transformation through delight) Jester-Sage (teaching through play)
Jester-Caregiver (lightness as care)

Is your play your METHOD?
Your MEDICINE?
Your DISRUPTION TOOL?
Your TEACHING STYLE?

The blend shows you how YOUR joy works.
