Geese

Lessons from Geese

I thought of you today as the geese honked their way southwest.
Overhead they strung out across the sky,
Wings beat rhythmically sending feathery vibrations earthward.
First one, then another took the lead.
Strong became weary and rested
Rested moved ahead to lead the flock and allow respite.
Onward to the Missouri flyway, then south to warmth and sunshine, they fly.
They fly, work hard, produce, fly, rest and revitalize, fly and fly.
Cycles of seasons, the great wheel of life
Survival at its hub.
