Good Morning…..I’m not sure if any of you ever knew this about me, but I love movies….All types Epics, Action, Comedy, Romance, Science Fiction, Indie, and even Documentaries......Another little known fact about me is that of all of the Movies that I have grown to love….I have one absolute favorite…..The Wizard of OZ….I know that this may seem a little strange for a Young African American Male from the Inner City (I Actually have a huge poster like the one below in my Home)…but their is a reason why this Movie was released over 70 years ago and continuously manages to end up on just about every reputable list of best sellers….It’s the Timeless representation of finding that in which …..(See I’m going somewhere with this we’ve already haveJ)…….If you have recently watched the movie then you’d pick up on the Fact that the Actors that Played the Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow…we’re actually portrayed without any costumes as Farm workers in the Beginning and End of the Movie….These Characters displayed the very attributes that their counterparts lacked (i.e. a Heart, Brain, and Courage)…..But for as we all know, it took almost two hours and many wardrobe changes later to bring the entire story Full Circle…..The point I’m trying to make here is that sometimes when we get caught up in the Wonderful World of OZ, we become Docile and Detached from our Inner Self…..We become Distant and Numb to our biggest Attributes and Strengths….Even worse, we fall into a sense of Hopelessness and Ignorance…..because for some odd reason we know that this Courage and Knowledge is what we ultimately want but we forget that we even had it in the first place….Open your eyes…..you don’t need meaningless trinkets (A Diploma, A Red Ticking Heart on a Golden Chain, or even a Medal of Honor) to prove to others and yourself that you have what is already lying within you!.....Simply Click your heels and GO HOME, GO to where it is that you feel that sense of empowerment….Find that place that existed before that Storm (See another genius move by the movie see the representation…) came into your life and put you into a place of everything that is terrifying and different…THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
