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.
English is not my mother language. In my mind, "The ship has left the harbor..." is like "You are safe with God now..."
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.
Some can walk on water, you know...
