Mouse is a naturally attentive creature, living among the most minute of objects, and places that are oft overlooked from our perspective.
Mouse reminds us to not neglect the trivial yet necessary aspects of life, and may inform us we are trying to do too much at once.
Mouse about discerning which aspects of life is important, and which aren't, having heightened awareness of our surroundings to spot danger ahead of time.
Mouse indicates resourcefulness, and the art of silent movement all while showing how to stay guided, abreast of the surroundings and conserving energy.
Mouse is shy, especially when under pressure or stress, and has the capacity to recognize this and compensate through adaptability and determination.
Mouse prefers a soft approach, knowing full well that there is nothing weak in gentleness. However when mouse appears in your dreams it may indicate that you are spending too much time in another's shadow, or letting petty issues plague you.
The mouse is connected to the 13th Gift of 'Discernment' in the Gene Keys in the Animal Codex (and 12th I-Ching hexagram is knows as Fellowship).
"As you realize how deep in the thrall of desire you are, you begin to understand the whole of humanity as well. Only when personal feelings are witnessed and examined can you begin to see things in a more objective manner. Over time personal agendas become more lucid and you reclaim the ability to listen to others and the world from a broader perspective." – Richard Rudd, Gene Keys
