Mouse is often misunderstood. Because humans have unwillingly shared their spaces with mice for thousands of years, there is an innate reaction to see them as pestilence, filth, thieves, disease-carriers and all other manner of squeamishness ensues.  While on one level, these feelings are justified because of obvious reasons, part of recognizing and utilizing the little signs that the Universe and Divinity send us is to see past these fears and find what can be useful to us.  When we look at Mouse as a noble creature of our Earth, we can look at what Mouse may mean for us, if we are sharing our dreamtime or life experience with Mouse in some way.

Mice are busy little creatures, spending most of their time scurrying, bustling, sniffing, collecting, caretaking a large family and being wary of many, many predators.  They have a small world, and when Mouse comes to us we can ask ourselves, "Is my world a little too small and busy?  Am I seeing past the immediate and looking at the big picture?"  Mice have a tendency to get all caught up in their scurrying and collecting, sometimes not looking up to see what is right in front of them, sometimes unwittingly falling into danger. When coupled with the fact that they are truly prolific breeders, one can see why this makes them such good prey animals.  When we get too caught up in our daily grind to see the big picture, or to sense the connectedness we have with the Infinite, we can sometimes unknowingly sabotage our own happiness and prosperity.  Even though we can take a lesson from Mouse's tireless energy and preparedness, we must remember to experience the whole of our lives, not just the daily tedium of survival. Mouse can show you how to work efficiently, and remind you be open to the big wide world around you and live your life to the fullest.
