The Closest Egg in "The Return"
I was born on the day before Easter.
Mom once wrote an Easter birthday card to me where she explained
that an egg represents an idea that will come to fruition.
I had been living in the camper for a full cycle of seasons
when I drew some eggs by tracing a squished roll of almost empty
duct tape. I scanned the line drawings and inserted
pictures from the image library I've been building throughout my
experience.
The closest egg contains a view I've known my
whole life. When I was a child my dad decided to go down
this dune to the water's edge. Mom, my brother, and I
waited all day for dad to climb back to the top.
What
took a very short time to descend took many times longer to
ascend.
After that day my dad always
warned us about how much effort it takes to return after a quick
descent. Of course, my dad always smiled with that
twinkling in his eye as he said, "It's not the destination, it's
the journey."
