The song by Sting, "Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot" was also and inspiration. And I, in fact, thought of naming the art "Soul Pilot" if I were to market the piece.
I've gone back and forth on whether one's soul has the where-with-all to be a solo pilot through life. There are higher resources that we can call upon, I've come to conclude.
