Following the Leader can be hazardous, unless one takes unusual precautions, including unshakable belief in purpose. The penguin is a strange animal, a bird that swims in the ocean and eats fish. The Sea of Consciousness has fish (thoughts), and eating fish would be digesting or understanding thoughts; the playful penguin is our Hero's Muse, protected by the most delicate butterfly wing parasol. The butterfly represents beautiful metamorphosis [worm to butterfly], and the two are shielded from the swords and kives [doubts and fears] by trusting the spiritual transformational process.
