The package (my urgent passport renewal application) has landed in the United Kingdom and at 9.13 London time it was delivered to the New Zealand Passport Office. Thank you FedEx!
So we have gained HALF a day. I just spoke to a lovely New Zealand girl in London and they are going to try and get the passport out their door by this afternoon. It was only at the end of the phone call that she realised that the wedding was THIS Saturday. Oh? Oh! she said as it dawned on her the urgency of the situation. Hearing her lovely New Zealand accent was a smile in itself.
What was also lovely was that when she checked with her associate to see if they needed anything, she called across her room “Do we need anything else for Cecilia’s passport?” They called me by my name. Isn’t that just gorgeous. So hopefully nothing goes awry and they will send it with NZ kisses straight back out the door this afternoon. Your magic is working! Like winged jugglers you are keeping my package aloft and moving.
It will be couriered by DHL across the sea and back to the USA and my girl in the NZ passport office will email me the tracking number. Maybe today. Maybe. Then we will wait again.
And we will wait without watching.
And maybe, just maybe.
I cannot say the words. They are too heavy. But just Maybe. As Senior Son Sam (who began his journey from New Zealand to Canada only hours ago) said “I have a good feeling”.
Eldest Son in Canada who will be married on Saturday whether I am there or not, thank goodness, is saying very little. I think he is holding his breath.
Good morning.
I made a haystack with all my excess energy yesterday. Sheila was very helpful. It is not a very good haystack, but it will do.
Have a lovely day. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.
your friend, celi

Making a haystack sounds like just the right thing to do under the circumstances. I am imagining that passport winging its way to you. How lovely that you got a Kiwi helper in the London office – must have been so reassuring to be understood and have the same accent! I can feel the fellowship holding you with great intention – so powerful.
Love that Sheila in the haystack! Silly girl. You did a nice job on it (with all that nervous energy). She was inspecting and I’m sure it passed.
I just want to say that I really really love the idea and the imagery that goes with us joining with you in your efforts towards a happy solution to this difficulty. I’ve thought of you often today and find myself looking up skyward and thinking of all the others reading who are joined together. You have truly accomplished something special here. I wish I could do the same.
Anxiously awaiting your next report 🙂
