Pause For One Another

Pause for One Another
Sharing by Mary
Lately it feels like we are living in the Land of Oz. Visions of
wicked witches, good witches, flying monkeys, munchkins, and a
Wizard hiding behind a wavering curtain pretending to be the ruler of
OZ. Some mornings, even after caffeine, I can embody any one of
these folks.
The world is spinning off into a tornado and we have the
entire cast of characters lost in a world of their own making.
Dorothy, dreaming she has forgotten who she is and is trying to find
her way home, the Scarecrow without a brain and a body constantly
falling apart, the Lion pretending to be fierce while looking for
courage, the Tin Man unaware of his sensitivity is seeking a heart, and
Toto too thinking about life in a more helpful direction.
Where are those ruby slippers when you need them?
Toto may be the sanest one of the bunch as he pulls the
curtain aside revealing that the Wizard is not a Wizard after all. Once
the Wizard tells the truth about his disguise, his mask falls away. Only
then does he Pause for Dorothy and the gang which opens his heart
and mind to see he has plenty to give all of them and receives plenty
in return.
We turn on the news to witness yet another sequel of the
Land of OZ. Didn’t I watch this exact news yesterday? Yes, I am
watching too much news. How about you?
What is one solution to the ongoing turmoil keeping our
minds spinning and hearts sinking?
