pay no attention to that woman behind the curtain

“The Wizard of Oz” is an iconic film, with great music and wonderful messages.  Nick loves to sing, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and “We’re off to see the Wizard.”

There have been times in my life when I have embodied the various characters while I am seeking either heart, courage, my brain or even home.  Lately I feel that I connect most closely to the wizard.  Oh I know that Dorothy tells him that he is not a very nice man.   While I do try to be nice to others, I am talking about when I hide myself behind a figurative curtain while I am frantically scrambling to pull all the levers and push all the buttons to keep the show going forward.  Sometimes I actually pull it off and no one seems to notice the woman behind that curtain.
