Notes on The World

I see the world as the Fool, all grow’d up. He’s made the full journey and is now older and wiser and stands on the same mountain as he did as the Fool. His chest is open and full of light, and all the gifts and knowledge he received along his journey, and he holds the whole world, in the center of the universe. In his right hand, he holds a gem. This represents “the jewel in the topknot” my own variation of a Buddhist parable about a soldier(s) who fought a great battle, and were victorious. One day, he discovered that his king had put a precious jewel in the topknot of his hair, representing the perfect truth. He had the ability to experience it all along, but the king waited till he was truly ready to reveal it.
