![]() ![]() ![]() Given a seagull's rather limited life opportunities Jonathan pursues the joy and purity of flight. Even at the time I recognized that.įor those who have not read it, it's a story of a seagull with higher aspirations than the day to day struggle of living. To this day I think that was the only time he tried to reach out to me within my own hobbies. Even I only vaguely knew it was a form of escapism, most people just assumed it was a passionate hobby. He didn't elaborate.Īt the time I spent most of my free time reading. It's one of the few things he has ever directly given to me and the only book he has ever recommended. He handed it to me while saying that it had really impacted him when he read it. While sorting through boxes that have been packed away and moved from place to place since before I was born my father pulled out a mortar and pestle that seemed to mean a lot to him and this book. I cannot remember exactly when I got it sometime in the blur that is the first half of high school. The first time I read it I first had to make sure that not only were all the pages in order but that all the pages were present. At this point the front and back covers only act to keep together loose pieces of paper. ![]() ![]() I own one paper back copy of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I say that because there are some things that while I do not necessarily wish to keep, I also cannot part with. I have a box where I keep things that for largely sentimental reasons I'd rather not throw away. ![]()
