Spirit Animal – Penguin Chick

Robert Friel's Highly Commended image from this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The king penguin chick was caught examining footprints in the sand on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. WPY is run by the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine.  From the site http://news.bbc.co.uk

I saw this picture and my first response was “Awwww!”  And then I thought about what was actually going on in the picture, and this time I said, “Wow!”  This little penguin is stopping to look at tracks that are different than his tracks or the tracks that he is used to seeing.  She has an early warning system already in place.

If seeing this baby penguin resonates for you, it may be that she brings you several messages.  The first is to be alert to what ever new opportunities cross your path.  It may only happen once in your lifetime.  The second message is to take time to stop and enjoy new things in your life.  When you experience the world with the joy of a child, you will once again be awakened to the magic of creation.
