Contents surfacing from depth. Something with its own life that was down there the whole time and has now come near enough to be seen, which is the standard image for a truth arriving from the emotional depths.

Where the reading comes from

The salmon of wisdom in Irish material and the fish as the early Christian sign both sit on the same observation: the fish comes up from where a person cannot see or breathe, carrying something.
