Jonathan Livingston Seagull

“They are saying in the Flock that if you are not the Son of the Great Gull Himself”, Fletcher told Jonathan one morning after Advanced Speed Practice, “then you are a thousand years ahead of your time.”
Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood he thought. They call you devil or they call you god. “What do you think, Fletch? Are we ahead of our time?”
A long silence, “Well, this kind of flying has always been here to be learned by anyone who wanted to discover it; that’s got nothing to do with time. We’re ahead of the fashion, maybe. Ahead of the way that most gulls fly.”“That’s something,” Jonathan said, rolling to glide inverted for a while. “That’s not half as bad as being ahead of our time”.

The Beginning and The End

I hear a call in the dark,
And my heart follows,
Alone into the glorious light,
Of the cosmos,
Of the Universal mind,
Of the light that shines,
All around,
Eternally,
In love and joy,
Bereft of the darkness,
That has shrouded humanity for so long.

The end is near,
But the beginning is beautiful.
