The Fox symbolises your wish, the Ship shows how you like your wish.
The Ship sails under full sails, the sea is rough, the wind is strong. The Ship is fully seaworthy at full speed ahead. It is 'flying' through the waters.
The Fox causes a flow of thoughts, which are no worries. The thoughts are directed at openess, in the distance, new horizons, far away. They are carried by the stream of conciousness. The open sea is the future, you are moving along at full speed, with all might. The Fox is the leader of the flow of thoughts, it is the Ship's pilot, like a leadership-compass. The Fox finds a way in the infinite sea without getting lost.
The Tower is how you dislike your wish, it looks into the distance without moving from a fixed spot. It watches what is coming along, and tries to protect itself from what comes towards it. The stream of thoughts goes up in the height, on top of the Tower, up into the clouds, over the world instead of going towards the openess because this is watched and monitored. The Tower persists in its viewpoint.
Come what may, but the Tower will not move an inch.
The Tower is on its guard of the Fox, it bewares of the Fox. The doors are locked. The Tower says: I won't go anywhere. New horizons are too far away, and the way is too dangerous. I remain here where it is safe. I will not get lost. I stay at home, I won't change, I won't budge.
The Tower is tele-vision. Looking in the distance, admiring it and resting comfortably where it is. But the Ship is on its way to new shores. On the Ship, one is setting out to see new things. On the Tower, one is unconcerned. One does not get involved. Don't count me in.
The Ship means: I want to check for myself on what I usually only see and hear about. The Ship wants to be involved, the Tower is above such things. The Ship is extrovert, the Tower is introvert.
The Fox is sly, he wants to lure you out of it again, it takes a thief to catch a thief.
The Mountain is the wish's restraint; it is a natural deerstand. The summit can be out of reach, it is a distance aloft. The Ship goes away, the Mountain goes up, flotsome and jetsome. Once more, this is immobility. The Mountain is state of the art, vertical thinking. On top of the Mountain, one may be with the head in or above the clouds, a position larger than life. The Mountain says: everything is in control. There is no future which can overthow me, nothing is unexpected or unforeseen. The Mountain cannot be lured into experiments, it is an attitude. It is not a wall one runs into, instead one is the wall which repels experiences.
Stay where you are, get on top of the Mountain, there is only one way to go: up. You don't need instinct, you don't need a mountain guide. You have to follow the well-trodden path. Entering unchartered territory does not follow any predefined path. The explorer does not follow a predecessor.
The Dog fulfills your wish; it is a watchdog. The Dog is tied to its dóghouse, a feeding bowl is standing next to him. When the Dog is released and he goes hunting, he follows a trace. He may go aswell into the unknown, as long as there is a track to follow. If he loses the trace, the hunting is finished. The Fox feeds on stolen game. The Dog is a loyal friend, the Fox is a spiritual guide. The Dog is a loyal friend of the soul which is led by the Fox. The Dog follows its master, the master is led by the Dog.
You are the master who is as careful as the Dog, and daring enough to accept the guidance of the Fox. The Dog fulfills your wish by following the Fox's trail, which means he accompanies the master. The Dog's precaution does not put an end to the hunt, he needs not to hurry ahead, and does not need to catch and kill the Fox.
The Fox is the daredevil, the Dog fulfills the wish which is a dare. Enter the Fox's realm as a watchdog. In the reign of the Fox you may be a Dog which is loyal and true. The Dog is not a loner, he likes to make friends, he is willing to engage in friendships.
Your wish is being a Dog which is as sly as a Fox. You look for a team to explore foreign lands and unknown futures. You want to escape from your known future, the one you have seen from your watchout.
The Fox opens up and leads into the unknown future.
Your wish is becoming an adventurer, free from expectations and getting away from the Mountain peak. You wish for a new goal, you want to let go, and stop thinking of security. You want to let go of your fear of the well-known prospects.
The Fox knows a way down from the Mountain, for he resides at the foot of the Mountain. He will guide you to the open space from which you then may choose a new direction.
The Fox will guide you in any direction, apart from the one that leads you up the Mountain. Anybody else is there anyway.
The Fox is the wish to hit the hay on some Ship with unknown direction. On a Ship to nowhere you become a different person than on your way up to the Mountain top. On the way up you need to become like everybody else who already has got there, or been there.
Hope this resonates with you!
I have been thinking about change a lot too.
