I want to share this story one of my students wrote to me the other day. I found it to be one of truth, fun and honor to share this among many. As we follow our spiritual path it leads us in many directions, and yes, sometimes we do not know why we walk the path we walk, but somewhere along the way we become enlightened to all that is around us and why we do follow the path that our hearts lead us to. May you enjoy this as much as I do.
To my Lion Heart Keri, I thank you for sharing and allowing me to share your words with many.

The Wizard of Oz
Here was this girl Dorothy suddenly thrown into this strange place. This unknown place where all she knew was that she killed one of the wicked witches (judgment, anger, fear, pain). She had her guides, like the Lollipop kids (joy guides), the Mayor I think it was (Master Teacher) and the Good Witch (Guardian Angel) all telling her to follow the yellow brick road (spiritual path) to get to the Emerald City.
She had no idea who these people where but she knew that she had to trust them and follow the path. At first she was all alone but then she met the Scarecrow (people in groups and classes who need a brain), the Tin Man (people in groups and classes who need a heart), and the Cowardly Lion (people in groups and classes who just need the courage to see who they truly are.) along the way and soon found that she was not alone.
In fact she had many people to hold hands and run forward with. In the end after all of the lessons she had to learn where learned and she killed some the last and final witch (judgment, anger, fear, pain??) then and only then did she realize that she had all of the answers right within herself.
When she awoke she knew that she would never be the same and that no matter how much she could try to tell her family and friends, they would never truly understand unless they experienced it themselves.
Blessings, Keri
