I once knew a bird that preferred to walk.
As luck would have it, this bird could talk.
A man meets a bird with great big wings who would simply rather stay on the ground — and can't stand it. He lists everything those wings could do. Everywhere they could go. Everything the bird is wasting.
It's a small, funny, rhyming argument about ambition and contentment — and who we're really yelling at when we tell someone else how to live.
A look inside
The first pages. How it ends stays between you and the book.
Some of us were
built to walk.
Take it home in print, or read it tonight on your screen.
