Life's Journey and Personal Agency

How do you travel through the waters of life? You can become who you want to be and move in the direction you have chosen yourself, or is your boat being steered by another helmsman?

Visual Description

A lush, green swamp or river scene framed by winding roots and tall trees; two robed figures stand in a long green boat, one poleing through the water while the other sits beneath a leafy canopy. In the foreground nine golden cups are arranged along the water's edge, half-submerged in the green tide. A small golden chalice emblem appears at the top border and the numeral '9' is printed at the bottom center of the card.
