Upright meaning

A doorway swings open. The Fool steps off the cliff trusting the wind. This is the start of something — the moment before the story, when anything is still possible. Carry only what is light.

Recklessness, naïveté, ignoring the warnings on the road. The Fool reversed asks you to look down before you leap, and to take seriously what you have been brushing off.
