This month, I’ve been taking the Mad about Musicals course offered by TCN (Turner Classic Movies), which led me to watch, once again, The Wizard of Oz.
In this film, the young girl Dorothy had to deal with many challenges to find her way back home, most of them created by a Wicked Witch. But it was rough going before she realized that she always had the power within her to return.
One turning point came when it appeared there was no way out of a fiery disaster. I mean, that wicked witch was going to kill them all, including Toto the dog! She started by setting on fire Dorothy’s dear friend the Scarecrow, who was made of straw.
Forgetting I’d seen this story countless times, I was shocked. How could they get out of this predicament? There seemed to be none. I couldn’t think of any.
Here’s where the magic of life steps in. There was a solution, but one they couldn’t have figured out.
To save her friend from the flames, Dorothy threw a bucket of water on him; some of it landed on the witch. Dorothy had no idea what her action would do.
Wicked Witch of the West:
“Don’t throw that water. (The witch screams.) You cursed brat! Look what you’ve done! I’m melting, melting. Oh what a world, what a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness! I’m going! Oh! Oh!”
And the witch was dead!
Surrounded by the Wicked Witch’s minions, Dorothy apologized for this unintended consequence. However, everyone rejoiced and broke into song, “Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.”
Even if it appears that there’s no way out, there is. Life can step in and provide solutions that you couldn’t imagine.
Just like in Star Wars where a ragtag group defeated the Empire. Just like how a good, little girl like Dorothy and her friends melted the witch…
You can get over any hurdles in your path, too.
There is a way of breaking free to enjoy the life, business or work of your dreams. There is a better way than trying to make things happen, trying to figure things out or getting tired of trying.
