According to Sandra A. Thomson, Robert E. Mueller, & Signe E. Echols, authors of The Heart of the Tarot, the "Fool" is our first teacher on our journey of self-exploration and enlightenment", representing youth with it's "lightheartedness and limitless energy of spirit", viewing things in new and fresh ways. An "indomitable spirit undertaking new & unknown experiences"; "creative, fearless, fun-loving, impish, antiauthoritarian, and often outlandish underdog-hero-transformer...".

Josh(ua) Adrian's Name: Named Josh; wishes to be
called Joshua. Named after his maternal great, great, great
grandfather, Joshua White Meshew, a Doctor, from Kentucky and his son--Joshua W.
Meshew, a Pharmacist, of Kentucky & Tennessee. His great grandmother's favorite brother. A very handsome
man. One of Josh's mom's favorite people. Adrian was the name of someone Josh's
father, James, knew. My grandmother told me Adrian meant by the sea. (Josh was
born on the island of Galveston, Texas.)
Intelligence: Smart like his father, James Loyd Harrison and clever like his
mother, Billie Fazakerly Harrison
Looks: Favors his mother, Billie, in coloring--very dark hair and dark eyes
and very fair skin. Perhaps from the French or English side of the family. Or perhaps
from our Irish side that had dark hair & eyes. Very tall, slender and
handsome.
Creative Talent: Probably from the Fazakerly (dancing) & Sullivan
(music) & Meshew (artistic) side of the family.
Multiple interests.
Personality & Temperament: More laid back like the Meshew side of the
family, very sensitive, helpful and interested in humanitarian deeds , good sense of
humor, quirky (definitely from the Fazakerlys). "Won't be rushed"
(definitely like the Meshews). "Night Owl". Eager to help others,
generous, immensely stubborn. Performer. Artistic. Focused and self disciplined,
deliberately disorganized, takes things as they come, humble, very serious about
things, intense, but loves to laugh, funny.
Organizational Skills: Very hard working like the Harrison and Finch side
of the family; but not "organized" like the Weick side of the family
(and his mom, Billie).
Religious Affiliation: Baptised Lutheran
Note from Mom: When my brother died in 1999, I wrote the Eulogy and thanked Josh "for bringing us together". This took only four words, but it speaks volumes. It was in reference to our beautiful and wonderful Christmas we had in 1998, prior to Tommy's passing. Tommy didn't think he could come that Christmas, but Josh worked out the details and insisted that Tommy was coming--whatever it took to get him here. Well, Tommy came and we had a grand time. His being with us was a great gift to me. This particular--and his last Christmas--must have been a huge hit with Tommy as well because that is all I heard about from his friends at the memorial service So, even though I didn't go on & on & on in the eulogy about Josh like I did for some of the other friends & family, I was making a deliberate effort and comparison to the most profound words on earth--the two words in the Bible that express volumes: "Jesus wept." BFH
Feb. 02, 2005; Called me this morning. Knew I was "blue" about some personal issues and wanted to sing me a song to cheer me up. He sang a lovely children's song--in Portuguese! He has such a great voice.
Humorous Story
(I added this because Josh grew up watching Star Trek)
If Dr. Seuss wrote for Star Trek: the Next Generation...
By Dave FullerPicard:
Sigma Indri, that's the star, So, Data, please, how far? How far?
Data:
Our ship can get there very fast But still the trip will last and last We'll have two days 'til we arrive But can the Indrans there survive?
Picard:
LaForge, please give us factor nine.
LaForge:
But, sir, the engines are offline!
Picard:
Offline! But why? I want to go! Please make it so, please make it so!
Riker:
But sir, if Geordi says we can't, We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't, The danger here is far too great!
Picard:
But surely we must not be late!
Troi:
I'm sensing anger and great ire.
Computer:
Alert! Alert! The ship's on fire!
Picard:
The ship's on fire? How could this be? Who lit the fire?
Riker:
Not me...
Worf:
Not me!
Picard:
Computer, how long 'til we die?
Computer:
Eight minutes left to say goodbye.
Data:
May I suggest a course to take? We could, I think, quite safely make Extinguishers from tractor beams And stop the fire, or so it seems...
Geordi:
Hurray! Hurray! You've saved the day! Again I say, Hurray! Hurray!
Picard:
Mr. Data, thank you much. You've saved our lives, our ship, and such.
Troi:
We still must save the Indran planet --
Data:
Which (by the way) is made of granite...
Picard:
Enough, you android. Please desist. We understand -- we get your gist. But can we get our ship to go? Please make it so, PLEASE make it so.
Geordi:
There's sabotage among the wires And that's what started all the fires.
Riker:
We have a saboteur? Oh, no! We need to go! We need to go!
Troi:
We must seek out the traitor spy And lock him up and ask him why?
Worf:
Ask him why? How sentimental. I say give him problems dental.
Troi:
Are any Romulan ships around? Have scanners said that they've been found? Or is it Borg or some new threat We haven't even heard of yet? I sense no malice in this crew. Now what are we supposed to do?
Crusher:
Captain, please, the Indrans need us. They cry out, "Help us, clothe us, feed us!" I can't just sit and let them die! A doctor MUST attempt -- MUST try!
Picard:
Doctor, please, we'll get there soon.
Crusher:
They may be dead by Tuesday noon. * COMMERCIAL BREAK, COMMERCIAL BREAK * * HOW LONG WILL THESE DUMB ADS TAKE? *
Worf:
The saboteur is in the brig. He's very strong and very big. I had my phaser set on stun -- A zzzip! A zzzap! Another one! He would not budge, he would not fall, He would not stun, no, not at all! He changed into a stranger form All soft and purple, round and warm.
Picard:
Did you see this, Mr. Worf? Did you see this creature morph?
Worf:
I did and then I beat him fairly. Hit him on the jaw -- quite squarely.
Riker:
My commendations, Klingon friend! Our troubles now are at an end!
Crusher:
Now let's get our ship to fly And orbit yonder Indran sky!
Picard:
LaForge, please tell me we can go---
Geordi:
Yes, sir, we can...
Picard:
Then make it so!
