Wednesday, April 13, 2022: Foolishness and Letting Go: Poetry and Song Circle, 7 p.m.
There are lots of theories about how April Fools Day originated, but no certainty about its origins. So we could invent a symbolic history for it, and say it represents the fact when you are letting go of the old and experimenting with the new, you risk looking foolish. The implication is that if you can’t risk looking foolish, then you’re stuck in winter and will never find spring. This is why there are so many wise fools in folklore and literature, fools who make fun of ego, pride and pretentiousness. Shakespeare’s plays are full of fools, both wise and otherwise. The wisest is the Fool in King Lear; the tragedy is that he never manages to persuade the King to choose love and authentic expression over ego, false expressions of love, and outworn tradition. But it’s possible to risk foolishness. Annie Dillard, the brilliant nature writer, risks it when she is running down the road singing and windmilling her arms and suddenly sees a stranger approaching; she decides to ignore his possible judgment, and her career as a writer seems born at that moment.
If you’re inspired by this theme, bring a poem, song or reading about being a fool or letting go. But, of course, as always, you are welcome to bring in something on a totally different topic, or just to come to listen and be nourished.
