American Tree Sparrow

This little beauty, the American Tree Sparrow ..  has visited me up close & personal the past few days.. Yesterday in the garden he made himself a little more noticed by singing a very loud song for me & sitting on an old sunflower stalk right next to me...
So I knew I had to find the message he was trying to tell me...

Sparrow
Self-Worth

The sparrow is one of the most common birds around,
yet it has flourished when other species have failed.
It reflects self-worth.
If a Sparrow totem has entered your life, ask yourself if you know your own self-worth.
The sparrow will show you that even a common little bird can triumph.

The song sparrow reflects the chakra energy awakening from the heart and throat.
It reminds us to sing out our own song of dignity and self-worth.

During the Middle Ages, the Sparrow was the symbol
of peasants and the lower classes.
In Ancient Britain, the Sparrow was the symbol of friendly household spirits.
To the Greeks, it was the pet of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love.
