Jonathan Livingston Seagull Author:Richard Bach This is a story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules... people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves... people who know there's more to this living than meets the eye: they’ll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than ever they dreamed. — Jonathan Livin... more »gston Seagull is no ordinary bird. He believes it is every gull's right to fly, to reach the ultimate freedom of challenge and discovery, finding his greatest reward in teaching younger gulls the joy of flight and the power of dreams.« less
This incredible book is one I read each and every summer -- it is good for my soul! Jonathan can be found in all of us; his joy, his despair, his success and his failure, his acceptance and his shunning -- through it all he senses a higher power we all will find in ourselves and in our faith.
This is a book I will always request from PBS -- for it is a privilege to share with others this fabulous story. If you haven't taken the time to read this book, please do yourself a favor and make time for it today.
This book actually has an ISBN (0-02-504540-4) but apparently Jonathan and I are the only two who know about it because it isn't recognized by anyone else.
I read it a long time ago, but re-reading the last few pages just now, the general theme is mind over matter; you can be anything you think you can, anything you give yourself the power to be; we haven't begun to tap the possibilities of what we can become.
