Consider the Geese

Consider the Geese

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.

Did you know that when a goose gets sick or wounded, it never falls from formation by itself? Two other geese will fall out of formation with it and follow the ailing goose down to the ground.
