Parts of All of Us

The Simple and The Complex

The four imaginary characters
depicted in this story --
the mice: "Sniff" and "Scurry," and
the Littlepeople: "Hem" and “Haw" --
are intended to represent the simple and
the complex parts of ourselves, regardless of
our age, gender, race or nationality.

Sometimes we may act like
Sniff
Who sniffs out change early, or
Scurry
Who scurries into action, or
Hem
Who denies and resists change as he fears
it will lead to something worse, or
Haw
Who learns to adapt in time when he sees
changing can lead to something better!

Whatever parts of us we choose to use,
we all share something in common:
a need to find our way in the Maze
and succeed in changing times.
