The Wise Little Mouse woven on the Kindness Loom is an homage to a fable told long ago by Aesop. It’s a story about kindness and how important it is to be kind to one another. Sometimes, we are the Lion and sometimes we are the Mouse. Sometimes we need help and sometimes give help. That changes, but what is essential is that we remember to be kind to everyone, and also to ourselves!
Aesop’s story about the Lion and the Mouse tells how a brave and wise little Mouse knew that even though she was small, she was mighty. The Wise Little Mouse convinced a Lion to spare her life, because she knew that her capabilities were equal to, even though different from, those of the Lion. This amused the Lion, who spared her life because she made him laugh.
When the Lion was trapped in a net that he could not escape from, the brave little Mouse chose to return his act of kindness by chewing through the net that had trapped him. She kept her promise to be kind to the Lion when he needed that kindness.
That was courageous, and very wise, too because she knew that sometimes we can give help, sometimes we need to be helped and it is all about kindness.
EVERY ACT OF KINDNESS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, MATTERS-
More than we can ever know, and NOW, more than ever…
Kindness is essential because we are all in this together and
sometimes we need to receive kind help and sometimes we can choose to give kind help.
There is enormous wisdom in knowing our strengths and in choosing to be kind,
even when it’s daunting and challenging.
And, so, I have designed and woven a Wise Little Mouse as part of the Weaving Kindness Project.
You can weave a Wise Little Mouse, too, as I have uploaded the pdf to my etsy shop.
