This seagull is names Johnathan Livingston seagull. I like this book a lot. it is by Richard Back and called Johnathan Livingston Seagull. The seagull doesn't fit in. His mom really wants him to fit in as best he can! So he promises himself that his is going to be a normal seagull. But that next night he does something outrageous. The seagull was banished from the gull land. But he loves it. 2 Seagulls from his flock came and got him to go home! The two gulls didn't take home home... They took him to a secret place. The secret place was heaven. In heaven he is trained to fly like the great. When he becomes a great he wants to leave and teach his brothers but they don't let him! Read the book to find out more!

Neil Diamonds score saved my (emotional) life once - they are so beautiful and inspiring.

I could not have said it better myself. There is something healing about the music and visualizing along with the score and discovering rivers of tears flowing down your face. All the disappointments, hurt, regrets, everything washing away with a new determination, Like an old friend must be revisited regularly to be reminded to keep trying. Time to revisit.
