Jackie Robinson stood at first base with his head down. He was thoroughly humiliated.

I love watching a large flock of Canadian geese flying in their V-formation. They speak of the changing of seasons and also of the value of teamwork. We can learn to be better caregivers if we consider the ways of the geese.
