Spirit Animal – Porcupine Baby

My friend, Roxanne, sent me the pictures, below.  The baby porcupine is just so cute!  I wondered why she showed up at this point in my life. 

 

She is here to tell me that all things start out small.  All things seem helpless and need a lot of work to get them to where they can be independent.  This truth applies to baby animals, humans, endeavours, projects, and businesses.  Adults find it hard to remember that a baby is small and does not have the same understanding of the world as someone who is seasoned.

However, the infant view of the world is that everything is big, beautiful and safe.  Everything is to be explored and tasted.  Everything is possible.  There are no limits!

When the infant is little, though, it is easy to exhaust it.  So, care must be taken to ensure that all things new are treated kindly and respectfully, and most of all, carefully. Pushing and pulling and impatience does not work with new things.  Like a stringed instrument, the new must be carefully tuned, and retuned, time and time again, until the perfect alignment of energy may be maintained.  Times of rest are necessary. 

When the “nursery” time is complete, the infant has become mature and is ready to take its place in this world.  And it happens, all in good time.
