Grazing the goats on an unfenced part of the property, one of the youngsters became separated from the herd and began screaming in panic. I followed him, attempting to reassure him, talking to him calmly despite my growing uneasiness, but he continued his frantic bleating. I was suprised at how easy it was to get swept up in the drama and I imitated his cry to see if it would make a difference. Nope. Halfway up the hill toward home, he continued to scream. His brother lifted his head, momentarily and gave a gentle bleat. The wayward goat was unable to hear it over his own screaming. I imitated his brother’s bleat and he turned quickly around just as his brother bleated again. He bounded back down the hill and rejoined the herd.
It’s amazing how many free life lessons are available from nature😂…
-Family is important for many many reasons
-Panic can be contagious…it can lead you back to the familiar but away from where you need to be.
-Sometimes we need a trusted brother to talk us down.
-Help may be difficult to perceive above our own noise
