When the mockingbird sings or defends its space
You hear it sing
The song can suggest confidence in speaking or a desire to create something. Think about what the sound made you want to say, especially if you have been repeating a familiar line instead of expressing your own view.
It is nesting
The nest draws attention to relationships and the places you feel responsible for. The scene can invite you to consider what helps those relationships feel protected and cared for.
The bird seems angry
An angry encounter may reflect a disagreement or a need to defend your space. Look at what seemed to provoke the bird before deciding whether the feeling was chiefly fear, anger or protectiveness.
Listening for a voice that sounds like yours
Notice what you repeat
Think of a recent conversation where you picked up someone else’s words or tone. Did it help you communicate, or did you come away feeling that you had left your own point unsaid?
