Lessons from a Gaggle of Geese

The geese come in  the morning
or midday or late in the evening,
in twos or threes or sevens or tens.
They wander into yards, fifty feet
or more from the water. They meander,
calm, at peace, comfortable
with their mates or as a solitary wanderer,
aware of their surroundings,
ready to move toward the water
when concerned, knowing safety.
We can find our own contented
moments, alone or with friends,
a community of individuals,
caring for companions but
aware where our safe haven lies,
peaceful, calm, and comfortable.
