Jonathan Livingston Seagull

First book is almost like first love, and to me, “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” – written by Richard Bach, is such love.  And it is also the first book I read it again as soon as I finished the first. And just like what inspired Richard Bach to write the book, every time I see or heard the seagull, Jonathan Livingston’s voice echoed in my mind.

Here in the late afternoon, by the harbor of Yangon, seagulls singing and flying.  The little monk stood by the boat, and I remembered, says Jonathan Livingston, “Perfect speed isn’t moving fast at all; perfect speed is being there.”
