A recent meditation presented me with the visual of Dorothy’s ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz.” As a kid this movie sent me running down the hall when the Wicked Witch set her monkeys after Scarecrow. What message could there be for me now?
Most obviously are the shoes. They were the power to get her home; but she had to discover that power – and own it.
“You always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.” – Glinda the good witch; The Wizard of Oz
It’s Glinda the Good from “The Wiz” that resonates even more now:
“Home is a place we all must find, child. It’s not just a place where you eat or sleep. Home is knowing. Knowing your mind, knowing your heart, knowing your courage. If we know ourselves, we’re always home, anywhere.”
Message received: Stay the course – know thyself.
