Peaceful

My favourite place to observe the rhythms and patterns of nature is at our lakeside property on Lake Osoyoos. Like the cottage residents, the Geese only show up in early Spring and by late Fall are in their 'V' formations pointing south. The regimented alignments are rigidly practiced, even in the water. I would like to know how the leaders are chosen and who gets to be in fifth or seventh position. Who makes these decisions? Do jealousies arise? Are families kept intact? There is an order and decorum there that we can learn from.
