IT’S A BIRD!
THIS REALLY HAPPENED. Finally, after years and years and miles and miles… it happened.
How many times have a thought it would?
A gazillion.
But it never had.
There had been close encounters. Near misses. But no hits.
Until today…
Just before dawn, in the chilly shadows, I was riding along the bike path above Salt Creek. Out the corner of my right eye I see a flash of white. Then something hits my head. There’s a golf course to my left, but nobody is that bad this early. Plus, a golf ball would have really rung my bell.
It was a flipping seagull.
Little feller bounced off my helmet, corrected it’s flight and kept on going.
You got a long way to go Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
… now, if you follow that link you can read the plot to a famous and mostly forgotten book. It’s worth it because of nuggets like this: begin by knowing that you have already arrived.
What else is worth it?… giving a few bucks to my favorite website, Wikipedia.
