Yesterday while Ben and I were moving lumber piles we uncovered a mouse nest, in the nest was a mom mouse and her litter of newborn mouse pups. The mom mouse could have easily scurried away to safety, but she didn't; she wrapped herself around her babies to protect them.
Completely vulnerable, powerless, with no chance to defend her family from harm, the mom stayed and did the only thing she could: she held her babies.
We covered them back up, and I thought about the nobility of a little mouse with a mother's instinct.
