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
