The Gift of the Wizard

 

“Oz never did give nothing to the tin man that he didn’t didn’t already have”
― America

 

So these four seekers go on a quest so that the wizard will give them that which they have been seeking. We all know the story. They succeed and they receive their gifts only to find out that the wizard was a well meaning charlatan. Was he though? The scarecrow’s brains work well and the tin man is feeling things at a deeper level. Dorothy went home and the Lion stopped hiding from his own shadow. So therefore the wizard’s gifts were powerful indeed. The magic of the wizard is the power of allowing someone to realize and use the gifts that were already theirs. That is powerful stuff indeed. We are all so much more powerful than we realize with gifts we have yet to explore. Maybe it’s time to go off and see the wonderful Wizard inside of you. Beware of witches who tell you that you can never succeed. Tho don’t fear them. They melt away easily enough. Just add water and will.
Blessings, G

Quote of the Day-August 20 2012

Well I think about all the other ways I could’ve played
All the other simple moves I could’ve made
All the other cards that I could’ve dealt
All the books I didn’t read upon my shelf
All the other ways I could’ve sung my songs
I’ve realized that none of it wen’t wrong
It was all play
How could it be any other way?

–Trevor Hall.

 

Losing myself in the vastness
Not even knowing it as that
All there is
So much more than the me
Or the billions of mes

 

Breeze on my face
Sand kissing my feet
More than kissing
Sound of surf 
Unable to escape
But not needing to
I stare out at far shores
And travel within being
–G A Rosenberg
