“Geese intuitively know before the seasons change that the time for retreat is imminent. They have a buildt-in understanding that they must depart once the days get shorter, or they will invite danger. Their migratory movements are a symbol for the time of transition just before the onset of winter. The choice of migrating geese to fly south is not really a choice. Only humans are so foolish as to ignore the signs, preferring to hold fast even to that which is likely to make them suffer.”
“Once you know the time of retreat has arrived, don’t hesitate to spread your wings and with the wind at your back, move toward the new.”
Tao Oracle, Ma Deva Padma
