The Sense of Goose
In the spring when you see geese heading back north for the summer, flying
along in a V-formation, you might be interested in knowing what scientists have
discovered about why they fly that way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACT
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an "up lift" for the bird following. By
flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if
each bird flew alone.
LESSON
If we have as much sense as a goose, we'll know that people who share a common
direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier
because they are traveling on each other's thrust.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACT
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and
resistance of trying to fly alone. It quickly gets back into the formation to
take advantage of the "lifting power" of the goose immediately in front.
LESSON
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who
are headed in the direction we want to go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACT
When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another
goose flies at the point position.
LESSON
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will take turns doing the hard tasks and
will share leadership roles. We'll also take the opportunity to rest and nurture
ourselves so that we come back strong and renewed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACT
The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up
their speed.
LESSON
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will make sure that our "honking" from
behind is encouraging, and not something less helpful.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACT
When a goose gets sick or wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation
to follow her down to help and protect her. They stay with her until she is
either able to fly again or dies. Then they launch out on their own with another
formation or catch up with their flock.
LESSON
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stand by each other.
