Jonathan Livingston SeaGull


Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger
are the reasons that a gull's life is so short, and with
these gone from his thought, he lived a long and fine life
indeed.

. . .
Chiang spoke slowly and watched the younger gull ever so carefully.
"To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is," he said,
"you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived..."


. . .

Jonathan made a scree of delight, the first sound he had made since
he had left Earth. "IT WORKS!"
"Well, of course it works, Jon." said Chaing.
"It always works, when you know what you're doing"

. . .

"Jonathan," he said, and these were the last words that he spoke,
"keep working on love."

. . .

Revisiting Seagull again!!!
