I love this sotry and have since I was a teen in the early 90s. It continues to enliven and inspire me. Jonathan Livingston Seagull teaches me that the quest for excellence can be a lonely one, sometimes the "flock" can be threathened by ones focus, vision and ambition. However by not compromising ones higher purpose one can attain love, freedom and finally transcendance. Thank you Richard Bach! You still give me flight.
