Random visitor

June 3, 2009 | 7 comments

I have an office in a public place so visitors can feel free to drop in and ask questions about Christian Science. Strangers stop by randomly and at unexpected times, and I enjoy their company.

However, I’ve had one visitor recently that I’m not quite sure what to do with. He comes up to my door, pecks a few times, wanders around in front, makes a few noises and then eventually flies away. He’s been back more than once over the last three weeks.

I suppose seagulls are looking for spirituality too. I’m still listening on this one… 🙂

  1. Hmmm….
    Maybe he’d like to get together with the robin that has been trying to get into my house through the windows for about three weeks now….

    I’ve been listening too!

  2. Living on the coast all of my life, we have had “pet” seagulls which would peck at the windows for food. Since they are nesting right now, he/she may be looking for food and comfort. [We actually had “a couple” who stayed with our family and the house for years.]

  3. I have been told that birds see their reflections
    in the glass and mistake them for other birds,
    possibly to mate with.

    Funny how, til we know what’s going on, we
    come to a variety of conclusions.

    Ah, patient God!!

    :<))

  4. Maybe it’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull with an important message to share about perserverance, persistence, and going up higher?! …Okay, so maybe not, but nonetheless, you should read the book about said seagull; it’s good stuff.

  5. Jonathan L. Seagull is interesting in places, but is basically Theosophy. Mme Blavetsky, the founder of Theosophy said that the principle of Theosophy is darkness.

  6. I also have a Seagull story! When I worked at San Francisco Opera, we had a seagull we called Emma visit us regularly for a number of years. She would arrive in October just in time for my birthday, and land on the ledge outside my window at the top of the Opera House. We fed her bread and she really rulled the roost. Then, in the Spring, the would leave to return again in October. If your seagull is searching for things spiritual, Evan, maybe mine was looking for culture!! Peggy
