The answer Dorothy was looking for was right there in her back yard, but she couldn’t see it. To find it … she had to be shoved out of her normal routine, her comfort zone, in order to gain the perspective necessary to see through her unbelief.

I mythologise where others pathologise.**
Jean Houston
It’s possible to go over and over something that has
happened or is happening to us, but it’s no fun, and
there’s probably little traction, or
we can take it to the myth, moving it from the normal and ordinary
to see it in a new way – the obstacle is the way,
The problem is the possibility, you’re
the agent, not the victim … and all of that –
Where you wield your strengths, employ
your energies, and live
out your values.
