[SPEC] About the Tarot Card

New to this whole thing in general but very intrigued.

Note this Paragraph from the Tarot card explination:

The path the Fool was walking is now a river, and he stands hip-deep in the powerful pull of its salty, moonlit waters. There is, on the nearby shore, a small boat, but it has no rutter, no oar. The Fool realizes he has only two choices. He can lose himself in this desolate, primal land of madness and illusion, howl with the wolves, be hunted down, or he can get into the boat, and trust himself to the river. The moon will be in control either way, but in the boat, his surrender to the powers of the unconscious and the natural world will at least take him somewhere. As the artists and poets and magicians know, inspiration, visions, genius, Moon magic, are the rewards of such surrender. The Fool gets into the boat, and shoves off. As the waters sweep him away, moon beams light his "path" and he feels the Mistress of this dark land gazing down at him with the High Priestess's approving eyes.

Note the bold area's. Not really sure (at this point) if thats helpful to you guys at all! however it seems to me, if we replaced the river with the castle (the only real difference in the two pictures) that perhaps the patient who drew this, is saying to us that they felt the the same choices upon themselves. Either they could "He can lose himself in this desolate, primal land of madness and illusion" or "he can get into the boat, and trust himself to the river" (i.e goto Cambridge and trust the staff to help them return to the "unconscious and the natural world")

Finally if this is the case, we would know that whoever did this picture definitely wasnt commited involuntarily.
Again im still new in this whole idea of things, so if this is of no use i appologize.
