Do you just ask?
I sat in our kitchen one early morning, rocking, reading and reflecting; getting ready to enjoy the day. The window was open and I heard geese honking. They congregate around a pond surrounded by a huge grain field. They evidently wake up honking because I hear them so often.
As I sat listening to their early morning fun, I thought about how the goslings born this spring will soon fly further south for the winter. And wondered how they know to do that. They don’t have the Weather Channel to know when the first blast of Artic air resident in a low-pressure system comes sweeping down from Canada. They don’t listen to the local radio stations and get the latest report from in-studio, live, color radar. They don’t read the local paper to catch the five-day forecast. They don’t have a weather app on their iPhone or Droid. I suppose you could say they just follow the rest of the birds, but still...
These geese have within them the desire to fly south and then north again and the knowledge for when. So if the geese are taken care of like this, how much more good stuff of life will you receive if you just ask?
