So much food..overladen with the bounty, but the dock was also full.
You seem to be out of room, what in your life feels so full?
Do you feel that you cannot bring any of your bounty elsewhere, that there is no space for your gifts/offerings? Do you feel your gifts are expiring(sinking)?
Why would you push a child away? Could it have been you as a child, a reminder that you did not appreciate?
Maybe an instructor, someone in control was a more fitting feeling for your needs?

Your mind has the answers, I just like to ask questions
