A canoe is designed to flow with the current almost as if it was a part of the water. If you go where the water takes you, you can enjoy a harmonious and pleasant journey. And if you wish to visit a place where the water does not seem to willingly go, you can still do so peacefully. It all comes down to knowing how to use the current to your advantage, you flow with it when it heads in your chosen direction, and you figure out a different strategy when it does not.

food for thought maybe?
