dear wysefool

i like your name. in the native american tradition, the fool ( wise fool, sacred clown, trickster, or heyoka) is a very sacred and special person. he often makes fun of the medicine men and elders just to teach them that no one is as important as they think they are. sacred clowns are much loved and revered. my father used to say ,that when "great medicine" shows itself, the medicine men and chiefs tremble in fear, but the sacred fool laughs.
