Forsaken by the wind, use your oars

On my way to safeway, I walked by the odd art gallery (if you would even call it that) and came across this phrase:

Forsaken by the wind, use you oars.

It was written on a small black board and displayed on the window. It's a message to me. I'm sure of it. That weird artist behind his weird gallery is telling me something. I just know it. Even his dog is telling something...
It's probably not a special phrase but I found myself thinking about it the whole night...I like this phrase a lot....and I have no idea why...

so random...i know. I don't usually have the habit of typing in tiny prints but hey everyone's doing it. So don't hate me if u need glasses after this.
