I find it a thing of incredible beauty to simply watch a flock of birds in flight. There is no visible or audible (to me anyway) communication between them, and yet their fluid motion is a complex interaction of scores or hundreds of individual birds. How are they influenced by each other? Who is the leader? Is it a right brain, or a left brain activity?

We humans do not seem to be able to manage the same coordinated movement, except through hours of practice with the drill team or marching band, and even then there is so often the amusing little oboe player out of step. Do we fancy ourselves more intelligent than the sparrows? Not one of them falls without their Heavenly Father knowing. Yet we balk at such complete submission to be led.
