But …

“Imagine you’re a Sooth Sayer who weaves kayfabe (KAY‑fah‑bay) into your mystic performances”.

Prophetic persona: You present yourself as a conduit to the spirits, but you know the ‘visions’ are crafted narratives you’ve designed.

” … behavior such as giving up all one’s worldly possessions, joining an ascetic order or living a life of the spirit, and deliberately flouting society’s conventions to serve a higher purpose … Such individuals have historically been known as both ‘holy fools’ and ‘blessed fools’. The term fool here connotes what is perceived as feeblemindedness, and “blessed” or “holy” refers to innocence in the eyes of God.”

I never said I was innocent, but in this connotation I could be tempted to be down with it.

And when I gut through the gloom to put it down like this, here, sometimes I feel a little better about it all, about myself.

No warranty expressed, or implied, but worth a daily shot.

Nobody fucks with the Jesus; amen.
