"Life as a River of Small Boats"

Life is like a long river, full of little boats, each one representing a soul on its journey. The river symbolizes the continuous flow of time and experiences, always moving forward, never stopping. From birth, we embark on our own boats, navigating the waters of existence.

Meetings and Connections

As we follow the course of the river, we cross paths with other boats. At times, our boats sail side by side, symbolizing the connections we make - friends, family, colleagues and partners. Some of these connections are deep and lasting, like boats that choose to sail together, facing the storms and calms of life.

Joint Navigation

During the journey, we share joys, overcome challenges and learn from each other. These periods of sailing together are precious because they enrich us and help us grow. Just as boats on a river can protect each other in storms, people who sail together offer each other emotional and practical support.

Separations

However, the course of the river is unpredictable, and sometimes the boats get separated. This can be due to different paths, new goals or simply the natural flow of life. These separations can be painful, but they are part of the journey. Each boat continues on its way, taking with it the memories and lessons learned in the time shared.

The Individual Journey

Even when we sail alone, we continue to follow the course of the river. The individual journey is unique, full of discoveries, reflections and self-knowledge. The challenges faced alone strengthen us and prepare us for future encounters.

The Final Destination

In the end, all the boats reach the river's final destination, where the waters meet the vast ocean. This destination symbolizes the end of life's journey, where all the experiences, encounters and separations culminate in a greater integration. On the ocean, all the boats become part of something vast, leaving a legacy of their individual journeys.

"Magic is the science and art of bringing about change in conformity with the will, either by the manipulation of natural forces or through acts of symbolism which connect the visible with the invisible, the tangible with the spiritual." - Aleister Crowley
