There's no place like home.

Arguing With Oz

Okay, I can try to forgive myself-
For not noticing the man behind the curtain.
But how do I explain…
Falling for this?
Soulmates.
Epic mistaken identity.
I do beg your forgiveness
But please understand…
You didn’t see him either.
It was you and me on that stage
Arguing with Oz.

Soulmates, wizards, religion…
Everybody picks one for themselves.
We find what we are looking for and stop…
Before any chance to notice
That man behind the curtain.

But I was so desperate for you…
I did look everywhere…
Even behind the curtain.
That was the worst of all…
Finding out the man behind the curtain…
Was me.

John H. Bidwell

So you were the one manipulating the universe! You sure left me hanging with that last line. I guess there's a little bit of the wizard in all of us.

Oh, what futile traps we set for ourselves at times not realizing the joke is on ourselves. Very good and extremely "deep".

Love ya!
