So, If you haven't read the book 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' you should. It was written by Richard Bach in 1970. I read it when I was 23 years-old and have thought of it quite often over the years. The book tells the story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a seagull who is bored with his daily life. Seized by a passion for flight, he pushes himself, learning everything he can about flying...That is all that I will give away, just in case you are running to Barnes & Noble to purchase the book. Anyway, I was making pictures this afternoon and found these seagulls. I smiled to myself and thought about Jonathan. Here are a few quotes from the book..."Most gulls don’t bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight – how to get from shore to food and back again. For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating."..."The same rule holds for us now, of course: we choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing , and the next is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.”
