As the geese are flying North in an early journey, there’s a siren type note to their constant sounds as they travel by, as if to say ‘join us’. Geese fly in a ‘v’ formation, to break the wind for the whole group. The ones in the front of this ‘v’ have the hardest job, so there is a constant rotation throughout the group from the front positions to the back. Most all of nature exhibits this awareness and nurturing of the ‘whole’ group, with the individual being secondary. Almost all spiritual teaching of all faiths emphasize this same thought, that we are part of the whole (God), and as we care for our neighbors we will all grow together. A nice thought.
