I've always assumed it was this one, too. The 6 solid lines are
yang-creative energy as opposed to broken lines with are passive,
earth (ie the opposite of heaven) energy.
This matches the 6 'strings of my guitar'. I don't picture her
running around with broken strings!
Joni's use of eastern and/or esoteric imagery extends to zen
in Moon at the Window-taken from a famous zen story-
and astrology in DJRD's title song. Yin-Yang principle
in S&L? Others?
