Nicest and sweetest days

“I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”

- L. M. Montgomery through Julie911

You need to keep finding yourself, a little more each day, that real, unlimited you.

You need to keep finding yourself, a little more each day, that real, unlimited Fletcher Seagull. He’s your instructor. You need to understand him and to practice him.

 

-          Richard Bach in “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”

Practice and see ... the good in every one... and to help them see it in themselves

“I don’t understand how you manage to love a mob of birds that just tried to kill you.”

 

“Oh, Fletch, you don’t love that! You don’t love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That’s what I mean by love. It’s fun, when you get the knack of it.”

We're free to go where we wish and to be what we are

…Jonathan said the time had come to return to the Flock.

 

“We’re not ready!... We’re not welcome! We’re Outcast! We can’t force ourselves to go where we’re not welcome, can we?”

 

“We’re free to go where we wish and to be what we are,” Jonathan answered

Easier to practise high performance than it was to understand the reason behind it.

Jonathan’s students found “it was easier… to practice high performance than it was to understand the reason behind it”.

The gull sees furthest who flies highest

“…Those gulls who you came from are standing on the ground, squawking and fighting among themselves. They’re a thousand miles from heaven …they can’t see their wing tips! Stay here. Help the new gulls here, the ones who are high enough to see what you have to tell them.” Jonathan replied “What If Chiang (the master expert gull) had gone back to his old worlds? Where would you have been today?”

Meaning of flight beyond a way of travel to get a breadcrumb

…Jonathan found himself thinking time and again of the Earth from which he had come. If he had known there just a tenth, just a hundredth, of what he knew here, how much more life would have meant! He stood on the sand and fell to wondering if there was a gull back there who might be struggling to break out of his limits, to see the meaning of flight beyond a way of travel to get a breadcrumb from a rowboat. Perhaps there might even have been one made Outcast for speaking his truth in the face of the Flock. And the more Jonathan practiced his kindness lessons, and the more he worked to know the nature of love, the more he wanted to go back to Earth. For in spite of his lonely past, Jonathan Seagull was born to be a instructor, and his own way of demonstrating love was to give something of truth that he had seen to a gull who asked only a chance to see truth for himself.

Perfection

“It’s strange. The gulls who scorn (to despise) perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly. Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly….”
