Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I read this in late 1978, at a time when I was lost and thought I could never find my way back. I cannot say enough and no one can fully grasp how lost I was back then.

I found this little book tucked away in a back shelf at home, forgotten and probably unread.
I don't know why I picked it up but, as soon as I set my eyes on the words of Jonathan the Seagull, I was found.

Suffice it to say that THIS is the book that changed my life.
None other.
It moved me. It grounded me. It anchored me to what mattered.
It gave me a clarity that, at 17, I needed the most.

Without this book, I would not have been the person I turned out to be.
It gave me strength and wisdom, and an understanding of myself that I will forever be grateful for.

Richard Bach, wherever you are...Thank you.
Your little seagull has fulfilled its task.
