Is there anyone out there who knows how to derive meaning from nature? It is pretty obvious, but I don't believe in subscribing to fear so I'm having a bit of trouble.
I drive to a nature preserve a few minutes away from my home every morning to spend time with nature and for my dog too because I live on the fourth floor of a building and need the grounding.
I heard a lot of commotion in the tree above me. Watched a crow get chased away by some birds, I'm assuming it tried to raid a nest. When I noticed the nest there was an adolescent chick sounding from it, so I stood on a wooden railing to inspect.
The chick was very cute and looked at me curiously from a couple feet away, it was making calls to its parent. I looked down on the other side of the railing in the grass, and saw a snake scurrying away. My dog (protector) walked right in its path completely unaware. The parent bird returned with a worm and seemed to make an alarming sound because I was so close to the nest. So I stepped down and went on my way.
There is a very literal interpretation here, danger, caution, etc. but I don't wish to live life derived from fear, so not sure how to feel about this. Does the snake necessarily mean danger, or do they have a different meaning I am unaware of?
Anyways, I am interested in what anyone thinks, regardless.
The only "meaning" that I interpret here is that you are observing
nature at is meant to be. Each of the entities that you saw are exhibiting
free will and are also here for a purpose. For humans it is often
difficult to divorce themselves from "right" and "wrong" -
"good" and "evil." There are no such things.
Everything here has a purpose. You needn't try and cubbyhole everything
into irrational boxes.
You are asking for the meaning of symbols.
This came from a dream dictionary,
but has a positive outlook for snake so thought
I'd send it your way.
As a positive symbol, snakes represent healing, transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is
indicative of self-renewal and positive change.

In Native American traditions, snakes mean wisdom, understanding, wholeness, and connection to Spirit. When you see a snake, it means you need to change some thought, action, or desire so that wholeness may be changed. Snakes are also about fire energy, so changing the energy usually means accepting the power of fire.
