Wheel of Fortune

Okay, I changed it. I spent some time talking about it with David, who has a much greater knowledge of symbolism than I do (evident in his lyrics), and he gave me some suggestions, and we worked on it, and this is what I came up with. The silver ornament at the bottom right is a hamsa, a "Hand of God," which is affixed beside doors of houses for protection and good luck, with a palmprint overlayed . . . this seemed like a more subtle "fortune" symbol than the cookie, maybe. The bird is a nightingale; to hear the song of the nightingale in a dream fortells good health. The ship's wheel speaks to me of adventure and sailing off to another land to seek one's fortune; the palm trees are that far-off land with hoped-for prosperity and happiness. The kanji in the background is the Japanese symbol for "destiny."
