Jonathan


Jonathan: I want to fly where no seagull has flow before. I want to know what there is to know about life!

Father, Mother: Son, this may not be the best life, but it's all we know.

Jonathan: There's got to be more to life than fighting for fish heads!



~ Jonathan Livingston Seagull

  2. I wish I could fly. I mean to just walk off the end of the front porch and fly away would be different for me and then realize it isn't a dream. Wow.

  3. If life is only 'fishheads' then I say savor the fishheads.

  7. Jonathan is so right...there has got to be more to life than fishheads! I applaud his spirit to fly! That dark red umbrella makes a very bold statement!

  8. The collapsed umbrella zips up the photo with its red colour. Gosh! Haven't thought about JLS for YEARS. I'm going to have to google Amazon to see the year of publication.

  11. Fun! If memory serves, Jonathan soared off into the wild blue to discover his destiny and answer his questions.

    Don't worry about dating yourself. It was a timeless book! -:))

  12. That's beautiful, Jilly, both the photos and the reference to Jonathan Livingston Seagull, too. I love the music to that film by Neil Diamond.

    And the bottom photo is a surprise as it is unclear what the man is up to. Feeding the birds ?

  14. He's got a camera in his hand, Nathalie. Guess it's too small to see.
