Le Mat Monday, Apr. 1, 2002 - 12:24 am From the Sphagnum Catafalque Tarot: Le Mat. The Fool. The flesh before Eden. The flesh without sin. The flesh without fear. The innocent. The traditional depiction is of a young man walking over the edge of a cliff. His gaze is on the sky and he is unaware of where his feet are going. He's about to find out that flesh, however fearless, cannot defy gravity. He is a hairsbreadth from learning that innocence is no protection against the world. He's on the verge of losing his ignorance with the usual commensurate amount of pain. But he's just a fuckin' tarot card, an image on a little piece of paper. So he's gonna stay there, suspended on the brink, imbalanced, a figure of imminent but unrealized potency. The rest of us fall off the cliff. Innocence lost. It hurts. No one has yet figured out how to live life without pain (although many have tried). No one can live and stay innocent. Not even a fool. last eleven:
Sa r'ji�o oss�vel meninonceiv �o poshik m�'�nch uscantebatahla o�r musiu o�r muiko.
