Personal symbolism
The canoe’s movement and the water around it shape the meaning. Calm water while paddling suggests confidence in your ability to manage business profitably. Rowing with a sweetheart points toward early marriage and fidelity, while rough water brings relationship strain. Muddy water is linked with business disappointment; shallow, swift water with a hasty courtship or pleasures without lasting good. Shallow, clear, calm water suggests pleasing but brief happiness. The passage also links clear water with a pleasant near future and disturbed water with upcoming difficulties.
Questions to reflect on
- What were the water’s depth, clarity, and speed?
- Were you paddling alone, rowing with a sweetheart, or emerging from rough water?
