The yellow brick road is not so much 'road' as path and track. And there is not just one of them here around the cities of Glasgow and Paisley but several. I am of course talking of the Sustrans paths (the old dismantled railways that have been converted into green animal-friendly cycling and walking corridors) that lead us gently past these cities and into the great wide open. Today, the path is yellow because it's late October and it's covered with leaves, but most of the year round it's just plain old grey. But that doesn't mean it does not lead to Oz. Whether grey, yellow, or blue, all sustrans paths, by virtue of the mere fact that you are sustaining yourself as Nature and God intended (and not being prammed by a pollutant whilst filthying the Earth), lead to Oz, Oz being the byword for the heavenly release that is attained when one becomes enchanted by one's own universal powerhouse in the equally universal powerhouse of Nature.
