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 Future Beckons

The future beckons,
Life moves forward. 

Be true to yourself,
Allow yourself to be happy,
Allow yourself to be free,
Complete the journey,
Take the narrow path,
Reach for the sky,
Accept what is beautiful,
Allow yourself to be loved fully.

Have courage,
Have conviction,
Be consistent,
Believe in your dreams,
Let go of the past,
Make the changes.

Love drives away fear,
The universe supports the brave,
Don't be one of the crowd.
