THE GOOSE STORY
Next Fall, when you see geese heading South for the Winter, flying along in a V formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way.
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following.
By flying in V formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who share a common direction and a sense of community get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of another.
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are.
When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies the point. It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up with their speed. Why do we consider a honk as offensive?? If we share common goals and rewards, a honk is encouragement and motivation.
Finally, and this is important, when a goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it dies and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group.
IF WE HAVE THE SENSE OF A GOOSE, WE WILL STAND BY EACH OTHER AND MAKE SURE THE ENTIRE "V" OR THE ENTIRE GROUP ACHIEVES THE COMMON GOAL OR IN THE CASE OF A WOUNDED GOOSE, TEND TO ITS NEEDS, AND THEN GO BACK TO ACHIEVING THE COMMON GOAL!
