Just thought this was a cool little story:
The Goose Story
Next fall, when you see geese heading south for the winter.. flying along in V formation.. you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way:
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediatly following
By flying in a V formation the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who share common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone...
and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are.
When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the V formation and another goose flies point.
It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed
What do we say when we "honk" from behind?
Finally... and this is important...
when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gunshots, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly, or until it dies; and only then do they launch out on their own, or with any other formation to catch up with their group.
If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by eachother like that.
