My nephew, Mark, is encouraging me and giving me very professional help in writing the book. I am buckling down beginning December 4 for three weeks of intense writing. It is not The Greatest Story Ever Told but it will be my story of the same driving force. (So I got delayed with radiation treatments but now that that is done we can move on with writing here in late January.)

The geese migration routes never vary. They use the same route year after year. Even when the flock members change, the young learn the route from their parents. In the spring they will go back to the spot where they were born. The lesson to learn here is to stay true to our core values and purpose. Strategies, tactics, and products may change in order for an organization or family to remain agile, but great companies and families always stick to their core purpose and values, and preserve them with vigour.
The time change did not affect the geese but maybe that gator I saw recently did. They circled the Lilly Pond four times before landing on the ground instead of the water. Geese have good eyesight and great memories.
When a goose gets sick or wounded, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with their flock. The lesson here is to stand by each other in difficult times. It’s easy to always be part of winning teams, but when things get difficult and people are facing challenges, that’s when your teammates need you the most.

I'm a wanna be writer but until recently only dabbled with personal stories and illustrations. My true joy is my relationship with God and family. Then comes the Christian music and technology. I am retired and occasionally work part time but when not too occupied I'm writing a book that I call Goose Freedom. Archives
