It seems we are being pushed back toward basic, material or necessary things, away from the purely speculative or imaginary. Inspiration is good, but the Scriptures advise us to "try the spirits." Some enthusiastic "leads" could be misleading. Charubel suggests that we could be dexterous in the use of a knife or an edged tool, as an artist, engraver, carver or even surgeon (for those trained of course). 

Being engaged in hard labor, as "a plowman" or plodder, is no disgrace, for the world depends on such individuals. Yet this is not all dull: One might feel that one is soon able to explore, travel, discover, or erect a temporary shanty or shelter. That is, use acquired skills in fresh situations. Home undergoes development. Or this might be no more than cleaning up and reorganizing. 

Again, menial work is not to be despised but taken up happily when needed. If one feels one does not have the perfect tools or prerequisites, one can go ahead with what one has and it will work out. The indication of "an iceberg" and "northern countries" is strangely redolent of Swedish student Greta Thunberg's speech at the UN and her admirable activism. Icebergs are melting, and that is one of the worries, as is a glacier in Italy causing evacuations. Signor Borelli's symbol from the 1890s seems to be hinting at our current environmental crisis. 

"A boat landing washed away" is in the same category, suggesting how shorelines could be swallowed up by swelling oceans. At an ordinary daily level this suggests that one has to let go of one one thing (the washed-away landing) in order to get on with one's project (by finding another port or landing). Meanwhile "a boy with a censer" is praying for us, that is, our own childlike yet higher selves are aspiring toward angelic assistance, and may we receive it!
