"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." - Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz
The metaphor of Oz, a sundering of one world and falling into another. Sometimes we voluntarily jump into a set of new circumstances, other times a whirlwind picks us up and spits us out into something unfamiliar. The journey may be unpredictable, dangerous, painful, and world-shattering. But it can also be perspective-changing, a catalyst for growth, beautiful beyond compare, and an invaluable opportunity. If you want a brain, then feed your curiosity, search for those with answers. If what you seek is a heart, simply make time for others. And if you want to see courage, by all means look in a mirror. When the world hands you something awful, turn it into something worthwhile and inspiring. If you do this, upon returning from your journey there will be no place like home.
