I heard about this adventure when it began and have followed it, with great interest, to its completion yesterday. I also created a miracle around it….I wanted to see the plane.
I declared that I wanted to see it (in person) aloud = public authenticity.
I made a promise I didn’t know how I’d keep.
I remained in integrity.
That is how I was able to talk Mark into going with me to the airport where it landed; ask our taxi driver, Mr. Khan to wait for us (I did invite him to come in to see the plane and after declining, he came in and was so happy); speak to a police man at the hangar where the plane was (in my limited Arabic); tell him I wanted, only to see it and snap a few photos of it, and then I’d be on my way. He said, “okay.” Then I asked him to escort us in. He had another Arabic exchange with three more guards (my heart stopped for a moment) and we went in. The plane is gorgeous, streamlined and HUGE.
Tip for the day: be unreasonable (don’t let reasons floating around in your head stop you)!! Thank you, Annette Gilbert and Mark Schnitzer!
Aloha,
Denise
