Summary

A family of geese is flying home to Ahway Island for the spring. They sing songs together together to keep each other entertained.
Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Songs in the Air,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female

Story Begins: 9:34

Songs in the Air Excerpt:
White puffy clouds dotted the pale blue sky. The air was starting to warm as a soft breeze blew across the sky. Now that the weather was getting warm and spring was on its way, many large flocks of geese were flying back to their summer homes on Ahway Island, after spending the winter months in other places.
There were many geese families amongst the flocks. Each family flew in the shape of the letter “V,” which made it easier for the younger geese to fly for long distances. The wind was strongest at the front of the “V,” so usually one of the parents would fly in the front, and then the children would fly behind.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
