On the yellow brick road to Damascus

Dorothy and the Lion all rolled into one

eager to leave Kansas, afraid of the first step

on that wayward path of twists & detours.

No signs.   No maps.   No guides. 

The more friends you take or the more

plans you make

the more lost you’ll certainly be. 

Trust in the road.  Have faith in your legs.

Leave your suitcase behind and… jump!
