Last night, my family watched that Christmas classic The Wizard of Oz. I say that tongue in cheek because I don't necessarily equate The Wizard of Oz with Christmas. But hey, CBS used to run it every Easter so it could considered a "holiday classic." Right?
Anyway, I have to say I do enjoy this movie. I'm not obsessed with it like some people, but it does speak to me on many different levels. How often do we wish to go somewhere else because where we isn't working for us? Wouldn't it be great to have a yellow brick road to follow? How about companions on your journey, providing you help and support?
We often look for easy answers to solve our problems. Going over the rainbow to a new and glorious place seems so tempting at times, but it is not the answer. So often the problems follow us and continue to plague us just like the Wicked Witch of the East. The problem doesn't go away until we take responsibility to solve it. And like Dorothy, the answer is usually within us the whole time. Sometimes we just need to take our own journey through corn fields, apple orchards, and scary forests to find it. Because maybe the things we encounter along the path are what help us discover what IS within us.
