"The Scarecrow thinks he has no brain.
The Tin Man feels he has no heart.
The Lion asserts he has no courage."
I love NPR for bringing me this kind of thought.
Or, to paraphrase Thomas Merton, "perhaps I am stronger than I think. Perhaps I am very strong, and my strength scares me."
I dunno. I'm just making this up as I go.
