Why "Yellow Brick Road?"
"You've Always Had the Power, My Dear. You've Had it All Along." ~Glinda The yellow brick road in the story of The Wizard of Oz, to me, symbolizes a path to personal discovery. The story characters all believed that they lacked the traits they needed to be their best selves. But it was not true. All along, they had the contentment, the wisdom, the compassion and the courage that they thought they lacked. It was through their symbolic journey that they made this realization about their personal potential. This is also true regarding creativity. I believe that you were born with creativity. My mission is to nourish the creativity in children and to reinvigorate it in adults! Creativity lives inside us. We just need opportunities to let it out to play! |
