Hey! So, "The ship has left the harbor" basically means setting sail on life's journey, facing whatever comes our way with faith and courage. Your take about being safe with God totally fits, too. It's all about finding peace and direction in spirituality.

Yes. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.

I read all this thread again. The part with taking rest in the boat and floating in the hands of God I found really moving, again.
Very helpful.

Thank you all for your comments.

It reminds me of the saying: "ship's are safest in the harbor but that's not what ships are for."

What do you think? What comes to mind?

Thanks.
The way I usually hear it is, "that ship has already sailed", meaning, "it's too late to take that course of action now". However, I suspect the way it was used with you just meant that you're on your way, and the hard part of deciding / committing / getting started is behind you. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step".

Yes, but not when a tsunami is coming. Then a ship is safer out at sea.
