Laughing at myself is often difficult, but necessary. Playing the fool is a good thing, not just for one day.
I dreamed about telling the Emperor of Education that he had no clothes on only to wake and realize that I needed to begin with myself.
How do I act like the Emperor? Do I think that my years in education make me a guru?
How am I like the arrogant king?
This morning I meditated on a reading for April 1st in the book A Pocketful of Miracles, by Joan Borysenko:
"Fools are often much wiser that scholars because they see through the eyes of a child and are not too
' smart' to notice when the emperor has no clothes- even when the emperor is themselves!"
Enjoy this fanciful song and video, "Pocketful of Miracles."
