Every spring a mated pair of Canada Geese appear on schedule and build a nest on my pond in Lander, Wyoming. They share the pond with the domestic geese and I never tire of watching them from the studio window. The Canadas will remain and raise their brood and then climb to the sky as they have for thousands of years.
No other creature connects me to the wilderness like the Canada Goose. Their haunting call is the call of the wild and symbolizes the human need for freedom for we are all wanderers in spirit.
What are human beings without animals?
If all animals creased to exist, human beings
would die of great loneliness of the spirit.
