I am really not as silent as a mouse—this blog will attest—but then again neither is a mouse. I’ve traveled the world, lived overseas, studied art history and international relations, been seduced by a dozen cultures. Now rural New England in a 275-year-old farmhouse is where I’m at home, and this is where my real curiosity about mice began. The mice nocturnal ran round in the ceiling as if they had more places to go than I had ever been. I caught the first small creature in a no kill trap. I could see his ears were much too large for his head, his eyes were much too wide; and with his tawny mantle over his white stockings, he was a natty fellow. I had a feeling I couldn’t be alone in my fascination, the inspiration in a mouse…

Yes, the Rodent is far more brilliant… they know how not to make any noise under your bed, snuggle at the your bed end, pull down comforter to get warm under extreme freeze… and lots of lots of things out of imagination… the fortune teller told me, even far far away from my old house, said that I know that your house has rate coming from afar, not to ruin them, as they are your ancestors… they will not harm you, just leave them alone… they are not as dirty as you imagine, they want to remain clean out of your imagination. Yes, everything relating to Rodent is out of imagination….
