Being passionate about ...

Before the Easter Vigil I spent time reading the book of Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I had read it long time ago and rereading it was again refreshing. Somehow some books never completely exhaust what they have to offer in one sitting! Every time you read, something new emerges. What struck me this time was the willingness of Jonathan to sacrifice and take risks. Nothing, not even expulsion from his clan could dampen his spirit for adventure and learning. He was ready to undergo any hardship and put up with any challenge to follow his heart. He was really passionate about flying.

Here are a couple of quotes from Richard Bach's other books...

You teach best what you most need to learn. (Illusions)
Every person and events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
