Symbolic Sparrow Meaning
Welcome to my Sparrow meaning page, which I've devoted to my mom for poignant and
heartfelt reasons.
All too often we take the little Sparrow for granted - small though she may be,
she is certainly powerful. It is her slightness in size that gives her advantages. She
reminds us we do not have to have the big stuff (cars, houses, etc.) to be important, and
we do not have to have the loudest voice in order be heard.
Some keywords/symbolic Sparrow meaning s include:
- Joy
- Inclusion
- Creativity
- Simplicity
- Protection
- Community
- Productivity
- Friendliness
Sparrows derive power and protection from their numbers. Always in a clan, they move in clusters, eat in clusters, and are always content as such. This can be quite intimidating to some would-be predators. Safety in numbers is a lesson the Sparrow has to share with us.
The Sparrow is ever vigilant in her goals. She is always bustling for her food, foraging for her nests, and gathering for her young. Fastidious and productive, the Sparrow is a reminder that idle hands (and idle minds) should be avoided in order to live a full, healthy life.
She is a master of flight, and camouflage, and as such the Sparrow teaches us to
use our creativity to get around in life - think outside the box, and be creative in
solving our problems.
As an bird totem, the Sparrow speaks of higher thoughts and ideals. She
beckons us to keep our burdens as light as we can in order to avoid a heavy heart.
In closing, I can’t wrap up this brief piece on the Sparrow meaning without making mention of the traditional hymn “His Eyes are on the Sparrow.” The tune
always runs through my head when I ponder the Sparrow and all her gifts. Here is a
paraphrase of the song:
“Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
When I know with Source I am One?
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
The Eye of Source is on the Sparrow,
I know Source watches over me.”
No matter what your spiritual affiliation, this hymn offers a fitting partnership to the symbolism of the Sparrow. The core message reminds us that there is safe-keeping, bounty and beauty for even the tiniest of creations. Ergo, there is ample supply of spiritual abundance for us too.
Thanks mom! I love you!
I hope you enjoyed this brief summary on the symbolic meaning of Sparrows.
