"For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. More than anything else, Jonathan Livingston Seagull loved to fly."
The year was 1972, it was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. Jonathan Livingston had broken free, and was an international celebrity. But Johann Earlington too was cutting his own path, a path very much like Jonathan's.
But 40 years later, Johann had become bored and had lost his way. It is here where our story begins. The Lord, having pity on Johann for all his years of hard work and effort, gives him a new direction and a new meaning. Once again, Johann is with purpose.

While [Jonathan Livingston Seagull] author Richard Bach was out observing the flight of seagulls, he may not have noticed that he too was being watched as he flew his jet fighter plane; by a young ambitious seagull named Johann Earlington. Like the elder Jonathan, Johann, too, became fastest of all seagulls and, desiring perfection, he managed to crack the cosmic egg, flying up to the loftiest of all heavens. This is his story, forty years after.
