i need a flying Gump.
you know the part in the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy is in the house, which has been picked up by the twister, and all these bizarre scenes go by outside the window? the house is shaking and tossing about and the whole thing is pretty surreal. that’s been pretty much how the last 2-3 weeks of my life have gone.
now i feel like i’m at the stage where the house has thumped down and i opened the door to suddenly find myself in a strange land with strange situations coming at me from all sides. in technicolor.
like the movie, it’s not an unpleasant strange new land but it is a little overwhelming at first, what with munchkins and witches (good and wicked) and ruby slippers coming at me left and right. i can already see that i’ll be playing the parts of dorothy, the scarecrow, the tin man, and the lion myself – depending on which issue i’m facing. which problem needs the application of brains or heart … or courage?
and that convenient yellow brick road? i think i’m still on the loopy dizzy go round & round in circles part at the beginning. i haven’t quite figured out where the path leads but i’m following it faithfully – one step at a time.
