Description: I thought this quote by modern day American author and philosopher, Eric Weiner, went well with a jester as the backdrop illustration. Weiner has served over a decade as foreign correspondent for NPR so he’s certainly had the time and experience to make such an assertion. But a deeper truth echoes from history concerning the real role of the jester. It is most clearly discerned by what is symbolized by the pointed cap and the heyoka - the sacred clown in the tradition of the American Indian. And there are many ways to interpret that all-knowing look in the eyes of the jester. (Jester illustration licensed to me courtesy of Ash and Fern Creations.)
