The reference to the Wild Goose in my blog is a Celtic one, referring to the Spirit of God.
The Celts looked at nature and saw God revealed in all His glory and they understood God best when they took symbols from what they experienced. The Holy Spirit was symbolized by the wild goose – unpredictable and free as compared to the dove which is docile and delicate.
Jesus said that those Christians who were led by the Spirit were like the wind—knowing not where it comes from nor where it is going. Christians who follow the wild goose should be wild and free themselves, living lives that are less than predictable….untamable either by society that would bind them with lies or by religion that would chain them with duty and obligation.
This is a journal of my experiences chasing the Wild Goose.
