I love Canadian geese. I know lots of people think they are
a nuisance but for me they are not. I just don’t walk where they are or else I *look*
where I’m walking. J
So I think they are kind of cool. I like how they are strong and sturdy and
since they are migratory they are good on endurance. Did you know a goose can
fly 600 miles in one day. Wow! And of course, they mate for life and take good care
of their young, which is admirable you can’t dispute…
I like this papa goose. He might just be telling me to get
away from his babies but out of context I can see him as preparing for flight.
Stretching wide and broad in order to get the kinks out and forewarn his wings
for what might come next: a long journey. He knows he can do it and he knows it’s
important to prepare for it. He does the stretch and practices the movement. He
knows the journey will be long but he is up for it.
Endurance is a skill I would be wise to nurture. It’s not
easy to stay focused and motivated to achieve a certain goal but in doing so
you can achieve great distances – like a goose flying 600 miles in one day.
