Tonight, I feel a bit like one of Dr Seuss’ characters. Do you remember Horton from "Horton Hatches the Egg" (also in “Horton Hears a Who”)? He is the cheerful simple-minded elephant that sits on an egg for 51 weeks while Mayzie the bird takes off for an indefinite break. Horton sits up there atop the tree committed to this tiny egg. He never ever falters in his determination despite the harsh winter snow and the hot spring sun. Finally, after going through all kinds of crazy ordeals the egg hatches and out comes a little “elephant-bird” that he loves as his own son.
Like Horton, I wait and wait. It does not appear that I will be traveling April 4th. The agency is not really sure at this time when I will travel; so, I will sit back and wait atop my tree committed to my precious egg. I know that very soon my dreams will come true.
