We
spent 5 days during Thanksgiving in New Mexico. Our initial focus was
to go visit White Sands National Monument. Spent 3 days there, and then
we went to a wildlife refuge and spent 2 days watching the annual snow
geese migration. To my surprise, the snow geese touched me so deeply
that I went back and visited them 4 times during a 2-day period. The
visits involved 2 early morning ordeals to arrive at their lovely home
(a cozy little pond) before 6 AM in 26F weather. Sunrise with snow
geese is spectacular. These little birds would sing and dance and
circle around the skies to create this incredible morning symphony for
the world. The event is overwhelming and stunning to say the least.
After putting out the magnificent show of the day, the snow geese would
finally take off and start their day in the free world, where only the
sky is their limit...
When
you think about it, these little guys each looks rather ugly. But
together, they bring so much beauty to the world -- they show us the
power of unity!
