It\u2019s a section of the city that was named after a small (maybe one square mile) patch of land that formed where two branches of the Chicago River met.<\/p>\n<p>It probably got its name because it was a resting spot for migrating geese managing their seasonal trek. Now, the term refers to the original plot, accessible by bridge, and surrounding area, which is now a very hip, industrial area. It\u2019s home to the Wrigley Gum\u2019s research facility and a variety of businesses operating from restored lofts.<\/p>\n<p>After I emerged from my shopping mission and headed toward my car, I caught sight of a band of geese at the corner of the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>On a small rectangle of grass, only feet away from the heavy traffic of Division Street, I saw two or three grown-up, long necked geese with iconic hunter green heads and maybe eight brownish goslings, adorable in their awkwardness.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that they didn\u2019t belong in this scene; so close to delivery trucks and train tracks and discount store parking lots, only a couple miles from a great city\u2019s business district.<\/p>\n<p>Then I thought, <em>Oh yes. They were here first (or, at least, their great, great, great grandparents were). After all, this is GOOSE ISLAND.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I watched them for a few minutes. I marveled at how at home they seemed to feel in this spot between stop signs and dandelions. They weren\u2019t bothered by traffic. I looked on as they scoured the grass for discarded pieces of bread or potato chips, hoping to feast on what people threw away.<\/p>\n<p>The simple beauty of this affected me on different levels.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always great to see a slice of nature up close. Successfully hunting up things to eat, the geese were just being geese.<\/p>\n<p>It was even more delightful to me that this bit of nature could be seen in an unnatural surrounding. It\u2019s heartening to think that birds can find what they need on a small lawn near a busy street.<\/p>\n<p>But I had to laugh at my own joke, my pronouncement. I considered that the sight shouldn\u2019t surprise me being that I was in <strong>Goose Island<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It fit.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a certain type of beauty when things FIT.<\/p>\n<p>Mathematicians call proofs <strong><em>elegant <\/em><\/strong>when the logic seems to work. Crime detectives seem to think of <em>perfect crimes<\/em> only when they have figured out <strong><em>perfect<\/em><\/strong><em> solutions<\/em>. Engineers may get effusive over gears that <strong><em>mesh<\/em><\/strong> or seals that are truly <strong><em>impenetrable<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose, as a writer, I shouldn\u2019t being surprised when a word or phrase really sums up the essence of something. It\u2019s something to strive for. When a phrase is both truthful and ironic &#8212; it makes me happy.<\/p>\n<p>So the family of geese was hanging out in what could be thought of as an ISLAND of grass, surrounding on all sides by concrete sidewalks and a blacktopped boulevard and parking lot. In GOOSE ISLAND.<\/p>\n<p>To see beauty in things, even in words, simply because they FIT, is no small thing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nosmallthing.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/goose-island-2-3-e1494343661813.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2828\" src=\"https:\/\/nosmallthing.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/goose-island-2-3-e1494343661813-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nosmallthing.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/goose-island-2-3-e1494343661813-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/nosmallthing.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/goose-island-2-3-e1494343661813.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, I was running an errand in the Goose Island neighborhood.
