    Sense of a Goose!

    Hi guys!

    I have made reference to this before but thought I'd put it in it's own post! It's not specifically related to AL but it somes up MWOF well...

    1) By flying in a 'v' formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
    Pepole who share a common direction and community can get where they're going faster on the thrust of another

    2) When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back in formation to take advantage of the bird in front.
    If we have as much sense of a goose, we will stay in formation with those people who are headed in the same direction

    3) Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
    What messages do we give when we honk from behind?

    4)When a goose is sick or wounded and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out too and follow it to lend help and protection.
    If we have the sense of a goose we will stand by each other like that

    This was from a chicken soup for the soul by Canfield and Hansen.

    Communities such as MWOF are difficult to find, I count myself lucky to be a part of it.
    Love to you all Manisha xoxo :l

    Lovely post, thanks. And food for thought, if you will pardon the pun.

      Hey Lost, you were on chat last night. I remember you. Nice to talk to you even from a far. Those hills are green aren't they. I've heard it is true. These words so too inspire me. I feel your inspiration by these words. Here is a link to the one that will make you really absorb. I cannot forward, the site does not let me. Someone sent it to me a long time ago. It is unforgettable, I want to share it at chat to let the others see it too. After all this time I still cannot view it without getting tears in my eyes, please look. Lesson from the Geese

                        We have much to learn from nature- and some stuff to unlearn!
