Those gulls where you came from are standing on the ground, squawking and fighting among themselves. They're a thousand miles from heaven — and you say you want to show them heaven from where they stand! Jon, they can't see their own wingtips!

The gull sees farthest who flies highest.

Our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth.

We went from one world into another that was almost exactly like it, forgetting right away where we had come from, not caring where we were headed, living for the moment.
