Beyond the Mind

This novella by Richard Bach is rare and especially precious. Behind its simple plot and seemingly artless narration, one senses the wisdom of the man who told this story.
This is a new adventure, a journey beyond ordinary time into the boundless reality of creativity and imagination.
In a certain sense, "Beyond the Mind" may be considered the antithesis of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." The headlong striving of youth for perfection had, sooner or later, to give way to nostalgia for the past, and then to the need to comprehend that very nostalgia and find a balance between the eternal call of the future and the reliable support of the past.
