In fact, I had to borrow the DVD to re-familiarize myself with the story of Oz. But I am doubtful that anything I have to say will be revolutionary. I’m a mere human being who was asked to stand before you to speak on love, courage, and wisdom, based on the beloved classic. Well? What are you waiting for? The great Oz has spoken! Pay no attention to that bald man standing in front of you. You must first bring me the broom of the wicked witch of the west and everything you desire will be yours! I have every intention of granting you all these on one condition. You desire to gain perfect knowledge of the universe, be admired by many, and loved by all. You hope to have big hearts, even bigger brains, and unstoppable courage. You seek deep insights into these qualities so that you can live happier, more productive, and more successful lives. You’ve come seeking the coveted prizes of love, courage, and wisdom. I am the wonderful, most powerful, Wizard of Oz. Editorial note: I wrote and delivered this talk at a hospice volunteer appreciation dinner on April 10, 2019.
