Thanks! It just kind of came to me. The phrase 'eight limbs' always tickled my imagination, like, 'Wait, are we talking about an octopus? Or a spider?" I thought the helm of a ship was sort of like that whole chariot/charioteer metaphor that gets used to describe the mind. https://www.swamij.com/chariot-yoga.htm
Love the image of the eight limbs as a way to steer the ship!
