An allegory for the condition of all things worldly - heading into the new year.
My first rule in hiring a ship's captain has always been - never hire anyone who lived most of their life away from the sea (say Oklahoma and central Texas).
The captain has our craft aground - and he is about to abandon ship.
Our new skipper will attempt to steer us to safety - using resources not found here.
Times are troubled on our beautiful little blue ball spinning through the void of space - we are all in this together. Hope, faith, purpose, focus, wisdom, and a commitment to peace and love; along with patience and tolerance will be required from everyone.
It is a time of action - we can't afford to sit by and let 'them' try to fix things. We must all be working toward solutions.
Captain, oh Captain - our prayers are with you - lead us wisely and well.
