And so we come to the end of the adventure when the girl known as Dorothy had completed her journey. She had matured over the course of traveling in the Land of Oz and realized what she had been seeking. Her quest to find home was a quest to find herself and she would have endured battle how ever many thousands of flying monkeys and evil witches to find the place that would give her balance.
"What have you learned," asked Glinda, the Good Witch.
"Well, if I ever go looking for my heart's desire, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, then I never really lost it to begin with. Is that right?" stated Dorothy with confidence.
"That's right," confirmed Glinda and with the click of her heels Dorothy and Toto were back at home.
Creativity comes from within. It is about seeing first the world that lives inside of us and giving outward expression to that world. That world is full of wonderful and powerful spirits who have traveled over the eons of time to be with us. Like the tree sentinels of the woods, these ancestral spirits watch over us and guide us. But they cannot guide alone. We must reach out to them and ask them for the path that is paved with yellow bricks and cowry shells. We must realize the journey through work and play. We must balance.
Drink in the world that exists in your own backyard--the world within. Dance with the ancestors, and drink in the spirit of life!
