What if you were? ....off to see the Wizard that is... and what if you could ask him for anything! What would you ask him for? I've thought about this since I was kid. What would I ask him for? I already have a pretty good heart and I have a brain that works (on most days) and if nothing I am courageous... I guess I could ask to be home, but that seems silly since most of the time when I am home, I'm dreaming about being someplace else.
Don't get me wrong I love my home! I love my house. It's safe and warm and comfortable. It holds so many good memories. It's weird to realize that there are people (people I love) who have stayed in my home, that no longer walk on this earth. Sometimes when I walk into the guest bedroom or into the den, I feel their presence. Or do I just want to feel their presence? I'm never sure.
My home has always been a place of comfort and refuge for me. A place to which I can always escape. ....but still, I always feel other parts of the world calling me "home." Places I've never visited, are calling call me "home." How can that be?
Nepal, Jerusalem, that place in Finland (or is it Iceland) where you go to experience the Aurora Borealis? Italy always. France for sure. Obscure places like Easter Island, Stonehenge, New Mexico... the "outback."
Maybe it's true, home is where the heart is... it's just that my heart is over the place. I want to see and experience all of it!
Maybe that's what I would ask the Wizard for! A one way ticket around the world!
Right now I'd settle to be on a flight to London. I'd settle to be on a flight to anywhere! Instead, I'm sitting on the floor of the Miami airport, Gate J15, listening to not so cool jazz, freezing and wishing I were anywhere but here!
A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others. ~ The Wizard of Oz
