Dorothy and the Lion all rolled into one
eager to leave Kansas, afraid of the first step

on that wayward path of twists & detours.
No signs.   No maps.   No guides. 

The more friends you take
or the more plans you make
the more lost you’ll certainly be. 

Trust in the road.  Have faith in your legs.
Leave your suitcase behind and… jump!
