Geese float in the sun

Soon to gather on shore and

Take flight in a V.

Art Prescription:  As the sun heads down, the geese on the pond take in the last remaining rays. They wade around, seemingly not doing. Then as if choreographed, they move to line up on shore and take off forming the classic V shaped flight pattern.  I’ve heard that geese stick together. If one goose goes down, the others go down until they know that the flock must go on. My work with horses is like that. The good of the herd is of up-most importance.

A flock of wild geese

Turn direction at same time

One for all, all one!

Art Prescription:  Researchers have long been fascinated by the flocking behavior of birds and fish. How in one sudden flash they all turn and move in unison. One theory is that of “collective thinking.” Or that there is some electromagnetic principal going on. Either way it’s a beautiful sight. Sit back and watch birds flying south for the winter. They turn and land in the trees as a group, creating interesting sound effects in the forest. What if all of mankind were to work together like this?
