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”.

Oh Great Creator!

Oh Great Creator!

Purify me in the fire of your divinity,

Dissolve the darkness within me,

Cradle me in the bliss of your grace,

Lift me up, set me free,

Renew me, create me afresh,

Bathe me in your golden rays of light,

Guide me home, elevate me, make me bright, 

May it be done.
