It’s April Fools’ Day! According to Jung, the Fool is the most evolved archetype. Or do you think I’m fooling about that?
That Fool might look like they’re going off a cliff, but they are clearly off on an exciting adventure. And unlike me, they didn’t overpack.
When I’m traveling, don’t speak the local language, and get too close to the edge, I might worry that I seem like a fool to others. But then I realize that I am no more a fool here than I am anywhere else.
I love that my Twitter (renamed “X” by some damn fool) friend Geanine Hudson said this about yesterday’s blog from Italy:

I’m not fooling when I say I feel seen by Geanine.
My friend Janet, who is no fool, wore a very cool t-shirt yesterday.

Janet writes wonderful books and I would be a fool not to link to her webpage.
Yesterday, on the trip from Venice to Arezzo, Janet’s husband Ray and I made fools of ourselves with texted fish puns.

I may feel a fool for doing the bare minnow-mum in fish-filled Venice, but I know I can always go back. And now we get to explore Arezzo!

Are there any fools to be found in my other images for today?

I have to remember that if I’m not always right, that doesn’t make me a complete fool.
Here’s what I find when I search for “fools” on YouTube:

Thanks to all who embrace their inner fools, to those who aren’t fooled by greedy and toxic liars, and to all my wonderful friends, including YOU!
