Soaring seagull seeks the sun

Dear human friends,

I’m sure you’ve heard the story of Icarus, the guy who strapped makeshift wings to himself using wax, only to have them fall off when he flew too close to the sun.

I’m just a seagull, so we’ll set aside the physics lesson for another day.

But for now, all I ask is for you to behold the sight of wings that were built for flight.

Of a being crafted by evolution to live in the sky.

Of structure so light you can see through it, but so strong it can reach heights few could ever dream of.

We all have our gifts.

I’m lucky enough to know mine.

With love,

Sierra the Seagull
