Geese and Growth
It’s another winter, another year. So many things in nature
shift with the seasons. Geese remind us of the coming cold as they honk their
way south. The geese have moved to warmer climates by now, which is a good
thing. We have had some record cold temps lately. I know they’ll be back in
spring but as I watched them take off, I kind of missed them already.
People respond to the change in seasons as well. Someone I
know says she is not a winter person. She hunkers inside during the winter
weather and waits for the warm summer’s embrace. Another friend relishes the
snow and cold and looks forward to getting out her skis. I kind of like the
snow myself, even when I have to shovel. We each try to adjust in our own way
to what Mother Nature brings.
As I looked at the geese honking their way south, I thought
about this past year. It hasn’t been an easy time for me but, like the geese
instinctively know, I sense it is time to move on. Come the spring the geese
will return to familiar surroundings with a new perspective. It sounds like a
plan for me, too.
As I watched the geese fly off, I wished them well and knew
I would look forward to their return.
