I Know That Book!

I walked into the baggage area of the airport, checked the flight I had been waiting for, and as I had done a thousand times, I sat and waited. There are no guarantees these days that flights will be on time or the person I need to pick up will be on the plane; a person in my position learns to have patience. I took the opportunity to observe the mass of people that flowed past me on their way to somewhere. Some faces expressed the confusion and frustration of trying to find their luggage, looking up at the signs overhead that might offer a clue where to go from here. Other people were looking through the crowd, searching for the familiar face, a loved one’s arrival.
