Parallel Universe

Life and death continue at Goose Island just outside of a major Fortune 500 Company in Ozarklandia.

The geese are content to have their own lives . Their universe is parrallel to a universe where business is done and profits are made.

Generally speaking the geese are a peaceable people. They seem happy to have many other water fowl visit the area and even don't run when the wild turkeys come marching through their kingdom.

The geese do not have a church but somehow they seem to be at general peace with the universe. I see they watching the sunsets sometimes and suspect that they must have a general awareness of the Creator.

They seem to be devoid of clubs, but not clicques however. They do not attend People Unlimited banquets or take up collections. They do leave deposits however; which calculatingly placed before the doors entering into the company premises. They seem to show some calculation in doing this.

The geese do not have titles; but occasionally one gets on top of one of the Company cars. I suspect this goose has concluded that it is a Vice President-Geese and has concluded it is entitled.

The young goslings are out. They appear to be busy learning goose ways and becoming products of goose living. They are protected by their parents and are developing beautifully. They have learned to march across the road, to fly, to swim and to generally stay with the flock. The other geese seem to be fairly good natured about all this, thinking back to their gosling days.

Sometimes, little groups of geese get together. Often these are small family groupings of brothers and sisters that have grown up together.

The things that are so important to all the people in the building do not seem so important to the little flock. They seem unconcerned about the cost of housing and play in the sun and sometimes play in the winter. They are unconcerned by their clothing and seem to have enough feathers not only to wear but to leave some on the ground.

These geese do work for their living and all is not play all the time. About three times a day they go bug and food hunting and no worm or bug is safe for the day. The fertilizer count in the area suggests that they are not without success.

They take nice naps. They have one in morning when they lay out in the sun and sun themselves. Later after noon, they move to the trees in the heat of the day and have polite conversation and sleep a little more.

Things seem to be going fairly well in Goose Land. I suspect that their stock is up and they are more than satisfied with their options.
