Tomorrow night’s (March 6) programme at the monthly Mondays
at Six at St Clements in Musgrave will feature readings by Pieter Scholtz from
his new book, Learning to Fly.
‘The air up there in
the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn’t it
be? It is the same the angels breathe.’ - Mark Twain
Limited in his nature,
infinite in his desires, Man is a fallen God who remembers heaven. - Alphonse
de Lamertine
Man must rise above
the Earth – to the top of the atmosphere and beyond, for only thus will he
fully understand the world in which he lives. - Socrates
Most gulls don’t
bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight – how to get from shore
to food and back again. 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. -Richard Bach
“The readings are illustrated with striking images that
appear in the book. People have asked: ‘Learning to fly what? Is it an
instruction manual?’, explains Scholtz. “My response is Yes, I hope it will
guide people to soar like I have. I hope flyers will go beyond known boundaries
and soar into unknown territory. I hope they will share the exhilaration of
flying!’”
