learn to love
the fool in you, the one who feels too much, talks too much,
takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks
self control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and
breaks promises, laughs and cries.
it alone protects you against that utterly self-controlled,
masterful tyrant whom you also harbor and who would rob you of
human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for your fool.
