The readings today might seem unsettling, speaking of a harvest of judgment and troubling times. How many of us have stayed up late worrying about our children's future? About whether they'll be safe, happy, and find their way in a world that seems so uncertain? It’s natural to feel a sense of unease, as people throughout history have when faced with uncertainties about the future. Remember the anxieties surrounding Y2K? Or the predictions of Nostradamus? Even today, with concerns about climate change and global unrest, those fears can creep into our hearts.

In the story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, we encounter a seagull who refuses to settle for the ordinary. While the other birds are content scavenging for dead fish along the shore, Jonathan yearns for something more—he wants to fly higher and explore the deep sea. He challenges his community and, through determination, eventually soars to new heights, discovering a world beyond what others could imagine. Meanwhile, his companions remain content with their routine, never daring to dream or fly higher.
